Fury lands a Hayemaker
By Pat Sheehan
TYSON FURY has landed the fight of his dreams after finally being sent a contract to face David Haye in Manchester. The outspoken heavyweight launched an amazing broadside at former WBA world champion Haye over delays in completing the deal that could earn them up to £5million each.
But the Hayemaker’s manager Adam Booth confirmed: “We have sent Fury the contract.”
Fury, unbeaten in 21 fights, taunted Haye with claims that his rival from London was running scared and did not want to share a ring with him for fear of chalking up the third defeat of his career. But Haye’s insistence on sending out the contract as soon as possible after Fury’s verbal dig was his own way of telling the former British title-holder to shut it.
On Friday, Haye’s legal team issued a final offer to Fury and they are expecting it to be signed and sent back by return post. Haye’s team need need the legalities dealt with quickly in order to confirm the September 28 date for the bout with the Manchester Arena.
One problem the former cruiserweight king must still resolve is a compensation payment to Manuel Charr — the original opponent for his comeback. Charr was due to face Haye last night but the fight was called off when the 32-year-old suffered a deep ligament injury to his right hand while training. It is understood that as well as paying Charr around £100,000, there is also a verbal agreement in place for them to box in the future.
