Andy's not happy with the negative coverage

The newly crowned world heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury,  has found himself fighting fires all over the place since defeating Wladimir Klitschko.

His views on homosexuality and women have seen plenty of negative comments towards the Mancunian boxer.

Earlier this week he was stripped of his IBF title and he may also still face an investigation from the Manchester police.

Now though, he’s been given some helpful advice from his cousin and fellow world champion, Andy Lee.

Lee is just over a week away from his fight with BJ Saunders, but speaking on Sky Sports, he feels that Fury would be best advised staying away for journalists.

“He’s the heavyweight champion of the world but maybe he needs someone to work in PR for him to create a barrier because he seems to be exposed to these journalists who can take advantage of what he says and paint him how they want.”

“I think he should be a bit smarter and be careful of who he invites into his world and you have to be careful of what you say.”
