When Tyson Fury won over Wladimir Klitschko last weekend, he did say that he would take anyone. But apparently, there have been slight changes since there is an exception.
And the exception in mention is David Haye, someone he was supposed to meet twice in 2013 but Hayes pulled out on both occasions. But now that Fury has the belts, Haye is looking to try and pry them away from him, although any chance of that happening is nowhere close for now.
One reason is that Fury is decided to give former champion Klitschko a rematch which could likely happen in the summer of 2016. With a rematch clause stated in the contract, Fury has no qualms about giving the Ukrainian a rematch.
And assuming that he repeats his win over Klitschko, would that set the stage for a match with Haye?
As far as Fury is concerned, he is not interested. In fact, he would rather vacate the title that calls on Haye to be a mandatory challenger rather than give him a big payday.
From the looks of it, Fury has learned his lesson from 2013 when Haye stood him up. And right now, it seems to show that Haye is simply interested in profiting from such and Fury is not about to make that happen.
"He is getting no opportunities from us. He is a pretender, a fraud," says Fury via ESPN.
Haye has been in and out of the boxing scene. Just recently, he announced a return to the ring after being out of it for about four years. Haye is a former champion until he lost to Klitschko in 2011. From that time on, he has been playing around with retirement, comebacks, and reality shows.
With that said, it is turning out that 35-year-old Haye is just looking for a big payday and nothing more. That could perhaps happen but it looks like Fury will have no part in it.
