World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he will never defend his titles against fellow Briton David Haye.

Fury shocked the boxing world by beating Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday to secure the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.

But Fury has not forgiven Haye for pulling out of two scheduled fights against him in 2013 and causing him "mental and physical torture".




"David Haye will never get a fight against Tyson Fury after what he did to me," said the Manchester boxer.

"I remember him saying that he'd never give me a payday. Well, the shoe is on the other foot now.

"If he gets a mandatory shot with any of the governing bodies, I'll vacate the title. Let him go and fight Fred Flintstone or Joe Bloggs and make no money.

"I don't care if he says I can make £10m by fighting him, it's not about money for me.

"I knew how much boxers got messed about at the highest level. But there were times [when Haye pulled out of the fights] that I didn't want to box any more.

"He is a pretender, a fraud and he is getting no opportunities from us."

Thought Haye looked in magnificent shape. Certainly bulked up since the Chisora fight and looks a true heavyweight now. Pity the division is so poor
 
That's why I think fury will interesting, I don't thing wilder is technically good enough and I think it's to early for Joshua. How big is Joshua 6ft 5 or 6?

I think he's 6ft 6 Joshua. Although him and haye would be interesting as he doesn't really box at range. If they fought now Id go for Joshua, just. I've never really seen Haye hit by someone with that much power and Joshua will definitely land.

I think that last fight will be the making of Joshua, people will point at the deficiencies he showed, but there was a time all prospects went through a learning fight like that without be called a fraud, would kell brook have beaten shawn porter if he had fought like he did against carson jones the first time, would fury have beaten wlad if he had fought like he did against cunningham? Joshua is going to get better, he didn't walk into a gym till he was 18, it's one of the reasons haye will push for the fight sooner rather than later

Aye, even Tyson had similar ones going the distance etc.

I actually think Whyte is better than he was given credit for and he will be in the mix for titles. He's a dangerous fight for anyone to take.

I think Wlad will beat fury and fight either Joshua or Wilder in his farewell fight.
 
You might have millions in the bank but you still can't tie a tie.

Was like watching the wwe with Fury's antics last night.

We now live in a world where Charles Martin can call himself heavyweight champion of the world, wrong on so many levels.
 
Whyte is no bum, he nearly knocked out joshua with that left hook, if he'd have connected with one of the 2-3 swings he threw after that, he would've. I think Haye would be too quick, too elusive and too good for Whyte but it would be no certainty at all, Whyte is a threat. Why does Haye need Joshua more than he needs Haye? If Haye doesn't get the AJ fight, there's plenty of other fights for him, Joshua needs another 2-3 tests before he fights anybody of the Fury/Haye calibre, if he fought either of those in his next fight, he'd lose.

Not a chance. AJ would be too quick for both Haye and the scruff.

Joshua's ready now for a title bout.
