Sonny Bill Williams’ promoter has claimed the boxer’s Muslim “appearance” was questioned by Fox Sports during contract negotiations.

“I did everything I could not to go off my rocker,” Khoder Nasser said, “He is questioning why Sonny looks like a Muslim.”

“No he’s not,” Ben Fordham opined on the Breakfast show.

“Plenty of people have beards and they’re not Muslim.

“The accusation is unsupported by evidence and, in my opinion, below the belt.”
