‘I’ll fight you’ – John Fury issues explosive message to David Haye after Haye called out Tyson Fury for fight once he’s finished with Deontay Wilder trilogy

Tyson Fury’s father John Fury has told David Haye to fight him next, instead of his son.

The 40-year-old ‘Hayemaker’ came out of retirement for an exhibition bout with his friend Joe Fournier last month, which he won by unanimous decision.

In the aftermath, he surprisingly called out Tyson – who he was supposed to fight in 2013 before pulling out with injuries.

In response, John Fury told BT Sport: “Well, my answer to that is Tyson would never give him a payday and he’s got no right being in the ring with Tyson.

“Tyson would absolutely kill him, it’s a joke.

“But I’ll tell you what’s not a joke – him fighting me.

“I will fight David Haye, and tell him from me – I will fight him seven days a week and three times on a Sunday. You tell him.

“You’re a s***house, you didn’t wanna fight him years ago, so let’s not play games here.

“I’ll fight you. Me, John Fury, 56 years old. I’ve got some good steam in my body left yet.

“I don’t drink, don’t smoke, never took drugs in my life, get to bed at 10 o’clock.

“Give me five weeks, me and you will get at it. Let’s talk some dollars pal.”
