Tyson Fury amazed fans with his performance in his trilogy against Deontay Wilder last weekend. This was also his very first title defense, and it unquestionably ended in style with Fury winning the fight via a round 11 knockout. With that win, the Brit pinned himself as the ultimate star in the big division. Hence, the other contenders are desperate to get to his spot.

Among them, David Haye has remained highly assertive about battling his compatriot in a full-fledged boxing war.

Haye last fought in an exhibition fight against Joe Fournier, and in that fight, he emerged as a clear winner. Since then, the Brit has only had one opponent in mind-‘The Gypsy King’.
