Tyson Fury blasts David Haye in foul-mouthed and homophobic Twitter rant
TYSON FURY has ridiculed David Haye and backed Tony Bellew to knock him out.
Tyson Fury tore into David Haye on Twitter
A heavyweight clash between Haye and Bellew on March 4 at the O2 Arena in London was announced last week.
And the two came to blows in a press conference to promote the fight, with Haye even swearing at Bellew on live TV.
But former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has topped them both with a homophobic Twitter rant about the state of his old weight division.
But he has since vacated the titles after he revealed he had used cocaine while battle depression.
Now retired, Fury was pictured on holiday in Tenerife apparently having put on a substantial amount of weight in his post-boxing career.
The 28-year-old is no stranger to controversy. His nomination for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award saw widespread protests spring up accusing him derogatory comments about homosexuality and women.
But Fury apologised on stage at the award ceremony for any offence caused by his comments.

“I’ve said a lot of stuff in the past and none of it with intentions to hurt anybody,” Fury said.
“It's all very tongue in cheek, it's all fun and games to me.
“I’m not a very serious kind of person - it's all very happy-go-lucky with Tyson Fury.
“If I've said anything in the past that's hurt anybody, I apologise.”
