Holyfield: 'Fury could beat Haye'

Former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield thinks that Tyson Fury could upset the odds and defeat David Haye in their all-British showdown.

The pair were due to square off in Manchester last weekend but Haye pulled out because of a cut in training.

The fight has been rescheduled to take place on February 8 and Holyfield believes that Fury has a chance.

"Fury wouldn't be getting into the ring with Haye if he didn't have a chance," said Holyfield, 50.

"Any fighter who gets in there has a chance and it comes down to who fights their fight."
