She's British. Where is the evidence that she is Canadian?
I always felt Andy Murray got a lot of unfair treatment after his throwaway comment about supporting whoever England play at a World Cup. Tyson Fury has been very vocal about considering himself Irish and not British multiple times but gets none of it.Joshua, Raducanu, Sterling, Farah, Hamilton, all get the absolute ire of fans in the last 5 years, despite being superb. Yet Tyson Fury, Jack Grealish etc. get unadulterated support wonder why? The only white guys that get continual and unfair grief seem to be the ones like Lineker and Southgate who stand up for black rights tell me I'm wrong.
Murray certainly get grief, but that was due to joking about wanting Argentina to beat us. Casual tennis fans or non-tennis fans would see him as Scottish not British because of that.I always felt Andy Murray got a lot of unfair treatment after his throwaway comment about supporting whoever England play at a World Cup.

If you were born in a pigsty would that make you a pig?Look at you all falling over yourselves to cry racist.
Where does being Canadian make it racism.
Really quite pathetic.
She is Canadian.
She is British.
Not the first and not the last to be of dual citizenship.
Get a grip.
My dad was born in India when my grandfather worked there in the 1950’s, last time I checked he wasn’t Indian.I was born in Libya in an RAF hospital and arrived in the UK when I was two but I'd never class myself as Libyan!
RubbishPeople who claim raducanu is Canadian would probably tell a Someone who’s was born to Asian parents in Britain to go back home
AJ gets massive support, the only real backlash he had against him as a person was from some people was when he told people to shop in only black owned shops. To me, I don’t think that’s a smart way to tackle racism, especially when a huge amount of people who have give him PPV money are white. Then his Twitter messages saying black people are the superior race etc.Joshua, Raducanu, Sterling, Farah, Hamilton, all get the absolute ire of fans in the last 5 years, despite being superb.

Tyson Fury has never been that vocal about not being British.

You've hit the nail on the head Marv, she is British.I opened this thread thinking I'd be reading good things about a new upcoming British tennis player (who we hope can bring home some trophies and good times), and yet the majority of this thread is arguing over her citizenship.
I don't know why I was surprised.
In the past he has quite clearly 'wanted to be Irish'.Tyson Fury has never been that vocal about not being British. He quite openly supports the England football team etc..
He might be proud of his Irish roots but that’s about it.
He’s fairly clear about it in this video and the article linked below.Tyson Fury has never been that vocal about not being British. He quite openly supports the England football team etc..

I agree that it isn't a smart way to tackle racism, but it certainly isn't the only backlash he gets, but the fact he supports BLM and anti-racism swayed the crowds massively against him. I haven't seen any messages about black people being a superior race from him.AJ gets massive support, the only real backlash he had against him as a person was from some people was when he told people to shop in only black owned shops.

Fury was massively disliked until he had his mental health battle and turned his life around. He said a few things in the past that angered people and was vilified for it and still Is by some.
I think you’re bit off the mark regarding those two. Both are popular but been vilified for certain things they said that understandably don’t look good.
of course boxing fans are fickle and started saying AJ isn’t much good after he lost, but that’s part of boxing. When you attract a huge “casual” fan base like AJ does, you’re going to get that.

Fury has pretty universal support and despite having only a couple of top 10 wins on his CV people talk about him like he's the second coming, which on his CV only isn't deserved. I mean the guy still hasn't ever defended a title and he won his first one over 6 years ago. Joshua has defended his title 9 times, always against top 10 HWs. But he isn't given any credit, because he's a black man, that fights for black rights.
I think the undermining of AJ started way before the BLM comments to be fair, they accelerated at that time for sure, but the racist element was already there.
It's not that he doesn't get any credit, it's that he gets a significant number of people discrediting him.not sure why you think AJ doesn’t get credit? He sells out stadiums and is considered as one as the best HW’s in the world
Well they both beat Wlad and just 17 months apart. The consensus is that after years at the top, Wlad took his eye off the ball and took Fury for granted. Fury did superb, though. 17 months later Wlad will have lost that complacency, had his hunger back, and he got beat up by a novice AJ. I think those are equal wins.As for their CV’s, it really depends how you wanna look at it. Fury has dethroned 2 of the longest reigning champions in heavyweight history, and beat the consensus number one in Wlad. Joshua has a good amount of B and C level wins, a lot against older fighters but has never beaten long reigning champs. His title wins were against belt holders that weren’t considered the top fighters, or vacant.
