In the video, which was posted on YouTube Nov. 25, Fury was asked about women in boxing and sports in general. As for female boxers, he said: "It's up to everybody what they want to do. I'm all for it; I'm not a sexist. I believe if a man can to go work all his life a woman can. Who am I to say 'don't do that 'cause you're a girl?' But I believe a woman's best place is in the kitchen and on her back. That's my personal belief. Making me a good cup of tea -- that's what I believe."

When initially asked about women in boxing during the interview posted on YouTube, Fury focused on the women who carry round cards in the ring, not fighters.

"I think they are very nice when they're walking around that ring holding them cards," he said. "I like them actually; they give me inspiration when I'm tired and I see them wiggling around with their Round 2, Round 8. I think women in boxing is very good."
