Haye's cut cancels Fury fight
Hayemaker Boxing regret to inform that David Haye has been forced to postpone
his September 28 bout with Tyson Fury due to a deep cut suffered during the
final spar of training camp. The cut above his left eyebrow occurred in
round two of sparring on Friday night (September 19) and required six stitches
by a plastic surgeon at St. Thomas' hospital. Because of the gravity of the cut,
these stitches will now remain in place for five to seven days.
Unfortunately, after being properly assessed, Haye was left with no
choice but to postpone his fight with Fury, scheduled for next Saturday night in
Manchester. He is currently waiting on further medical assessment to determine
the extent of the postponement. “Gutted isn't even the word,” said a
crestfallen Haye. “Mentally, I'm on the floor at the moment. I'm devastated most
of all for my loyal fans, my family and my team, as well as Tyson Fury and his
team. “I know injuries and cuts are part and parcel of our sport, but
this doesn't change the feeling of disappointment and sadness I'm experiencing
right now. To everyone who has bought tickets, booked hotels, and followed this
fight since it was announced, there is absolutely nothing I can do except
apologise from the very bottom of my heart. “Even when everything seems
to be right on track, sometimes life throws you a curveball. I will somehow have
to try and make the best of this horrible situation. But, right now, I'm in bits
about what has happened.”
