As is the norm these days, news of a big fight has broke via Twitter after London's David Haye Tweeted that he has signed his side of a deal to meet Manchester's Tyson Fury on September 28. Haye Tweeted a photo of himself signing a piece of paper, presumably the contract, earlier today.
The former WBA titlist has now placed the ball firmly in Fury's court and his move should bring about an outcome to a "will they, won't they" saga that went into overdrive when Fury Tweeted Haye a 80-20 offer a few weeks ago, which was later revealed to be a tongue-in-cheek response to Haye's claim that his domestic rival had refused an initial 50-50 deal.
Peter Fury, who trains Tyson, recently told BoxingScene that they are happy with the even split and, therefore, the fight should come together without any further problems once a few final details have been ironed out: "We're nearly all set, we are just waiting on a final document from Sky," said Fury when confirming the latest development to Boxingscene.com
Haye, 26-2 (24), has now left it to Fury, 21-0 (15), to put pen to paper on a fight that has already attracted a huge amount of attention here in the U.K.
