Holyfield sparks anger with ‘homophobic’ comments on Celebrity Big Brother

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 world heavyweight champion 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.
