David Haye and Tyson Fury’s postponed heavyweight clash has been rescheduled for February 8.

Former WBA champion Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) was forced to pull out of the pair’s hotly anticipated clash on Saturday after suffering a deep cut above his eye in sparring.
Fury had initially vented at Haye on Twitter for pulling out of the fight, with the unbeaten Manchester-born boxer (21-0, 15 KOs) saying the Londoner was ‘too scared’ to go ahead with the battle.
But, with a pot of around £10million up for grabs, both camps have moved quickly to sort the new date.
‘News of the date in February is music to my ears,’ said Haye. ‘I was absolutely devastated this weekend, and felt as though I’d let a lot of people down. But now, with this new date, I couldn’t be happier.
‘My fans will still get the chance to see what they all wanted to see this weekend – they’ll get to see Tyson Fury sparked out in a spectacular fashion.

 

And the 32-year-old laid into Fury for accusing him of running scared.
He added: ‘Tyson Fury might start to get brave now that he’s received a stay of execution – and he might call me names and accuse me of ducking him – but that will all be short-lived, I can promise you.
‘After hearing the nonsense he has come out with in the last few days, I’m even more determined to expose him in front of millions. And only the possibility of getting another chance to land punches on his massive head and doughy gut has helped cheer me up.
‘The cut will heal, the fight will happen next year, and the fans will go home happy. The only difference now is that Tyson Fury gets an even nastier beat-down than he would have received first time round.
‘Once again, I’d like to apologise to the fans for the inconvenience caused by the postponement, and also because they will now have to endure a few more months of rubbish spewing from the mouth of Tyson Fury. I had hoped to silence him for good on Saturday night.’
The venue for the fight, Manchester Arena, remains the same.
