Haye: Fury’s making a mistake if he tries to use his size to beat me

fury5558By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) will likely be giving up at least 30 pounds in weight against the 6’9″ Tyson Fury, and another 7 inches in height when they fight each other this month on September 28th at the Manchester Arena in the UK. Haye doesn’t seem to mind that he’s facing a guy much bigger than him, because he feels that Fury is someone just begging to be knocked out with his straight up style of fighting and his bad habit of slugging it out with his opponents.

Perhaps the major reason why Fury tends to slug it out so much with his opponents is because he hasn’t faced a real big puncher yet in his career like Deontay Wilder. When you’re fighting a bunch of domestic/Euro level stiffs that can’t punch their way out of a wet paper bag, of course you’re going to develop habits of slugging it out.

Chisora wants rematch with Haye and Fury if he gets past Gerber on Saturday

chisora34By Scott Gilfoid: Dereck Chisora (17-4, 11 KO’s) will be fighting for the vacant EBU heavyweight crown this Saturday night against Edmund Gerber (23-1, 14 KO’s) at the Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Hackney Wick, in London, United Kingdom. Chisora says he’s not that interested in fighting for a world title against one of the Klitschko brothers, but instead he’s got his sights set on trying to land a rematch against his former conquerors David Haye and Tyson Fury in what would be an all British clash.

Chisora was knocked out by Haye in the 5th round last year in May in a one-sided fight, and Fury beat an out of shape Chisora by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision two years ago in July of 2011.

Haye: I’m going to kick Fury’s backside from pillar to post

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) says he doesn’t care if his opponent Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) were able to kick and use knees against him in their fight on September 28th, because Haye thinks it’s about the only way the light-hitting, slapping Fury would have any chance of making their fight competitive.

As things are right now, it’s a hopeless mismatch between a teacher and a pupil. About the only good thing about this mismatch is that it’ll likely be over quickly with Fury getting put out of his misery early in the fight by Haye.

Fury hoping his dad will see him fight David Haye on September 28th

fury555By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) is badly hoping that his father John Fury will be able to be released from prison to sit at ringside for Fury’s important fight this month against former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) at the Manchester Arena in the UK. His father was given an 11-year prison sentence for gauging another man’s eye out during a fight.

Tyson Fury says that his dad is already being given time off from prison each month, and he’s hoping that one of those days will be on September 28th so that he’ll be there for the Haye fight.

Haye hoping to become mandatory for Klitschko with win over Fury

haye #2By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) is hoping to get in position to become the mandatory challenger for a fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko if Haye can annihilate fellow Brit Tyson Fury in their fight on September 28th at the Manchester Arena in the UK.

Haye is already ranked #1 WBA, so it’s not exactly going to be difficult for him to get the mandatory spot by the World Boxing Association, not that it’ll help him any once he does get a title shot.

Haye: Fury’s going down for the 10 count

fury3By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) was amused to learn that Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) sees him as another Steve Cunningham for him to beat up in their fight on September 28th. Haye’s amused by it because he realizes he’s a much better puncher than Cunningham, and he remembers how Cunningham was able to put Fury flat on his back in the 2nd round from a right hand.

Haye says he’ll make sure he hits Fury hard enough to where he won’t be able to get back to his feet like he did against Cunningham. Fury won that fight by a 7th round TKO after putting a left forearm in Cunningham’s face to blind him and then hitting him with a sweeping right hand to the head with the left forearm still nicely in place.

By that point in the fight, Cunningham would have gone down with almost any feather-fisted shot that Fury threw, because he was just dog-tired.
