UNBEATEN middleweight prospect James Hawley has been dropped by his management company for his vile homophobic rant on TikTok.
The 21-year-old was asked by a fan whether he supports LGBT rights, with the 6-0 boxer stating that he thinks gay people are “dirty c****” and that he feels sorry for their families.

The clip of Hawley’s views was shared by Drag Race UK star Baga Chipz on Twitter on Wednesday, which showed the Hitman candidly speaking about homosexual and transgender people.
Replying to the question, Hawley said: “I 1,000, 1million per cent do not agree with this stuff. Listen, I can understand girls get with each other all the time at parties and all things like that.
“I don’t care, not a problem. I’d want them to get with each other in front of me.
“But boys on the other hand, and transgenders, there’s something seriously wrong with you. What in the earth makes you want to change your gender and get f***** in the a***.
“What is up with you dirty c****. I feel sorry for your families.”
After his views were flagged to MTK Global – who represent the likes of Tyson Fury and Carl Frampton – they responded by saying they have released Hawley from his contract.
