According to Peter Fury, uncle and trainer of undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury, the only way they would consider a possible fight with former champion David Haye is if money was placed upfront into escrow.

Haye, inactive since a 2012 knockout win over Dereck Chisora, has withdrawn from several scheduled dates due to injuries - including two major dates that were set for a fight with Fury.

Haye withdrew from the first date due to a cut and then pulled away from the rescheduled date with a shoulder injury. Tyson Fury was furious, even claiming that Haye intentionally injured himself to get away from the match.

At this point Fury has no interest in the fight, but they would consider the match if Haye placed in several non-refundable millions in the event he withdrew again. 

Peter Fury told the Manchester Evening News: “For us to consider David Haye, he’d have to deposit five or six million pounds in the bank up front. He’d have to put money in a bank that was non-returnable. It’s not a fight a we would want."

“It’s a shame that it’s come to this point, but he messed us around beyond belief. You wouldn’t do that to your worst enemy. He’s not on our radar. That fight isn’t happening.”
