Tyson Fury appeared to be flawless in his last fight as he took out the unbeaten Deontay Wilder with a vicious stoppage for the WBC title. However, former world champion David Haye didn’t seem impressed. Instead, he claimed to have found loopholes in Fury’s games, which Anthony Joshua can rightly explore in a possible showdown.
Fury had unleashed a lopsided dominance in his rematch against Wilder. He outworked his rival from the very beginning and claimed the win in the seventh round via TKO. But Haye did not think so.

‘The Hayemaker’ connected with Belfast Telegraph and shed opinion on several issues, including Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua. Meanwhile, he looked back at Fury vs Wilder 2 to make some surprising statements.
“What Fury did against Deontay Wilder in his last fight sounded like suicide on paper, but it was genius. Tactically I believed he had got it totally wrong, but it was proven right. But if you look at some of his prior fights, I wouldn’t say his tactics were that good,” said David Haye.
Well, this isn’t the first time Haye has lashed at Tyson Fury. In several prior interviews, the two-division champion had conveyed the same.
In the past, Haye had several heated arguments with Fury’s father John Fury. So, it wasn’t surprising for the boxing world to see him demean Tyson Fury once again.
