ANGRY Lennox Lewis has branded Tyson Fury a ‘mouse’ after being hammered by the trash-talking boxer.
The former undisputed world heavyweight champion is currently helping David Price prepare for his rematch against Tony Thompson at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Saturday night.
Fury, 24, who is lined up to meet David Haye, 32, in Manchester on September 28, claimed he would have knocked out Lewis and then called him a “bitch” and a “div”.
Speaking on the Bunce Boxing Hour on BoxNation, British legend Lewis said: “I met Fury the other day and he was quiet as a mouse.

Fury tweeted Lewis is a has-been who is using his name for publicity and that he has no desire to fight old men, he's leaving that to Price.
When did he say that? Christ that guy is an *******, I hope Haye stomps him. What's next will he start insulting Ali?
I hated him for wrecking Iron Mike.
I felt the same way, I, like many others, lapped up the hype before the fight and for the first few rounds it looked like Mike might really have a chance.
We all know what happened next, but still, Lennox was a great champ and you dont get many of todays fighters who avenge all losses/draws.
Fury has his moments but baiting lennox is stupid and pointless, would love to see the following headline tomorrow morning
"Haye fight off - Lennox Lewis announces comeback against Tyson Fury"
I agree with the earlier posts, if Lewis put in 6-9 months of hard training he could take Fury.
Agreed. This I do not defend, but I want Fury to win against some quality opponents because his loud mouth and antics are good for boxing because I think if he gets big enough he can attract many fans, even if he becomes a villan.
That's the problem with modern day supporters you think mouthing off like Fury is good for Boxing, Tyson probably took the same lessons as Haye both big mouthed and when he fights Wladimir Klitschko probably disappear like Haye.
I don't like when active boxers disrespect and name-call obviously retired great ex-champions. I like Fury's banter normally, but that was stupid.

Agreed. It's one thing to hype a fight or engage in some banter but this crossed the line. Totally disrespectful, infantile, and classless. Lennox was a great champion and always represented the sport of boxing with some dignity.
What sort of dignity to you think he was presenting in his obsessive pursuit of the Klitschkos. That every single one of the Klitschkos' opponents received calls from Lewis with free advice on how to beat them. Mostly unsolicited advice. This is just one more example. You can be sure that if Price is getting advice from Lewis it's almost certainly a sure thing to bet against him.
Lewis' advice has the same effect on the result as Teddy Atlas' picking his "winners'.....
Fury is just hyping his name. He respects Lewis very much.
People struggle to think outside the box on here. Lennox has just started helping David Price. I don't think it's a coincidence that Fury has suddenly started going after Lennox.
He knows if/when he loses to Haye, the Price fight becomes his route back into the big time.
I wasn't the biggest Lennox fan until later. Rooted for him against Rock, Vitali, Bruno, Foul Pol, White Buffalo, Razor. I hated him for wrecking Iron Mike.
Tyson Fury will be gone in two years. Don't waste time talking about this fraud Lennox. He's beneath you.
