Evander Holyfield sparked a Twitter storm on Sunday night when he classed homosexuality as a disability and claimed it could be 'fixed'.
The former four-time heavyweight champion of the world made the comments during his stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
He was later warned for his outburst, to which he replied he was merely stating his opinion.
Holyfield was being quizzed by The Apprentice runner-up Luisa Zissman about whether any boxers had come out as gay.
'While Big Brother understands these are the views you hold, they aren’t the views that are held by a large section of society and expressing these views will be extremely offensive to many people. Do you understand why?'
Holyfield replied: 'Yeah I understand why, I forgot about the thing. I was just telling her my opinion, but it’s not like I was gonna mention it to anybody else, that was just our conversation.'
He was then warned and later put up for eviction alongside Zissman after the pair failed to complete a series of challenges.

“...expressing these [’homophobic”] views will be extremely offensive to many people...”
It used to be that “many people” would be offended by the practice of using the anus for sex.
Liberals recoil when you state the truth about what they support,
but be prepared, they have a standard talking point in response:
“why are you so interested in the mechanics of gay sex”.
Of course, you respond by “why do you recoil from the truth about what you support?”
:: they aren’t the views that are held by a large section of society ::
Size and proof of said “large segment of society”, please.
That's a lie.
(((Hetero Hugs for Holyfield)))
Minor out-rage because Iron-mike is (1) a member of the politically protected class; (2) a past member of the prison power structure that generates the “down-lo culture”.
This will be a non-story...quickly.
:: using the anus for sex. ::
Such use is not sex; it is sodomy.
Reclaim the language.
It’s a bro-hug lol
Homosexuality CAN be fixed: castration.
More hysteria from the hetrophobics.
I chuckle at how hostile the homosexuals are to differing points of view. Holyfield should take this opportunity to call that out. Hell, he should turn it around and call them racists for not respecting his view point.
Holyfield should have went Mike Tyson on their ass, bit someone’s ear off.
If only I were black with a powerful right, I could conquer the world lol
The howling of gays and their supporters is the sound of weakness, which is why they want opposition to disappear.
Damn! Was Holyfield stripped of his titles and I missed it? How and when did that happen? That just may be the most under reported sports story of the past several years.
Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are not the same person.
