David Haye pulls out of Tyson Fury bout due to injury

David Haye pulls out of his heavyweight clash with Tyson Fury next week due to a cut in training.

David Haye has pulled out of his fight with Tyson Fury due to an injury in training.

The British heavyweights were due to square off in Manchester next weekend, but a cut above his eye has forced the former world champion to pull out.


This photo of Haye was posted in a statement on the fighter's official website, showing the cut that required six stitches.

Haye said: "Gutted isn't the word. Mentally I'm on the floor at the moment. I'm devastated for all my loyal fans, my family and my team, as well as Tyson Fury and his team.

"I know injuries and cuts are part and parcel of our sport, but this doesn't change the feeling of disappointment and sadness. I will somehow have to try and make the best out of this horrible situation."

This is the second time this year that injury has forced Haye to pull out of a fight, after a hand problem led to his bout with Manuel Charr being called off in May.
