Tyson Fury claims he will never fight "pretender" David Haye

Newly-crowned world heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has claimed he'll never defend his titles against David Haye.

Haye, who recently announced his comeback, has not fought since his 2012 meeting with Dereck Chisora. But any hopes of facing Fury have been dealt a blow with the Mancunian not willing to forgive Haye for cancelling two scheduled fights against him in 2013. "David Haye will never get a fight against Tyson Fury after what he did to me," Fury said. "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 that I didn't want to box any more. "He is a pretender, a fraud and he is getting no opportunities from us." Strong words.
