Fury must be a shoo in for sports personality of the year now.

He should already be the winner, but if no more sport takes place then he won't have any comp.
Be interesting to see if he does as it will give us a better indication of whether he is popular with the public at large or just in the hardcore boxing circles. Admittedly he may have literally no opposition as practically no other sport has been played yet this year.

Favourite by a mile at the Moment, All the others are speculative. Dina has to win Olympic gold to have a chance which is hard even if the Olympics happen, Peaty is pretty much a lock to win Gold but Swimming is much lower key sport. Lewis SHOULD win but despite 6 world Titles and basically being the most successful British sportsman of all time is a marmite figure for some reason so is unlikely to win this year any more than the previous 3 when he took the world title. Harry Kane is unlikely as EUROS will be postponed this week.

He will literally be the only sportsman to have won anything of any note this year.
 
Yeah, the drugs thing might put a spanner in the works.

Sports personality might end up being a pub league darts champion, or whoever wins the egg and spoon at the biggest kids school.

I was too busy at the time to pay attention to the Fury case, but I always thought the boar meat thing sounded suspect.

Why not just pay the man though? Madness if true.
