WORLD heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has joined travellers, trade unionists and anti-racists in a protest against a pub’s refusal to serve people from travelling communities.

The boxing champ — who is from a travelling community — prompted the protest in Morecambe, Lancashire, on Wednesday night when he posted a video of the pub’s bouncer refusing entry to a middle-aged man from a travelling community and his elderly father.

The protest began outside the Hurley Flyer pub in Morecambe, with placards stating “Traveller Lives Matter,” before moving on to a second pub, the William Mitchell, which also bans travelling people.
