The biggest fight for us UK fans of the sport is postponed at best and more likely to be off altogether.
And lets face it there is only one person to blame, and that is David Haye.
Tyson Fury as called Haye a ****house and said Booth has deliberately cut Haye so they could pull out of the fight after a poor training camp.
Whilst I disagree with this view for Tyson, I totally blame Haye for this, he most likely was very unprofessional and stupid.
This is not the first time Haye has picked up injuries and had to pull out of fights at late notice. It is a kick in the teeth for fans that have bought tickets, booked hotels, or even just organised the night off for this fight.
Not to mention the fighters involved, Fury, Quigg and the rest of the undercard, a lot of people have suffered from the fall out.
Haye claims he got the cut during sparring, pretty much all boxers cut of sparring with 10-7 days to got to the fight, and the sparing Haye should have been doing at this time should have been very light.
Also headguards and big gloves prevent facial injuries, or at least the should if they are worn.
Was Haye wearing his? Did he have and adequate one? He clearly did not.
So is Haye a ****house, like Fury says?
Is David Haye a ****house?

I understand, that in the time when Haye got his injury, fighters are winding down their training, most stop sparring and at the very least they have a light spar or technical spar.
And they wear head guard that would protect them from cuts.

Could save you £5 million

It's a myth that fighters stop sparring 10-7 days before a fight. Both Paul Smith and Tony Bellew admitted last night that they spar until the Friday before the fight. It's just a freak injury.
The Manuel Charr fight had nothing to do with injury. Basically it was not selling so they pulled the plug and used injury as an excuse while chasing this £5m prize for fighting Fury.

Ever heard about the story about the boy cried wolf.
Haye should read it that time.
And it not a myth, fighters don't spar a week before the fight, one reason is they could pick up a knock or injury.
The other reason is that you are winding down your training, easing off on everything.
And if Haye was wearing a proper headguard this would not have happened.
And a technical spar is very different from sparring.

This is the third big fight haye has pulled from because of injury
He pulled from vitali
He pulled from charr
And now He has pulled from fury
That's not even taking into account toegate.
It's not a one off. It's constant
That's four fights he has either pulled out of or claimed he was too injured to box at his best it
Since the first of his three pull outs + toegate he has fought four other times, so 4 injuries and four fights.
If this injury prone he needs to stop.

He gets injured 50% of the time and 75% of those injuries are just too much for him to fight.
Guy is a joke.

Never pulled out with a fight with Vitali, no contract was ever signed between them.
Pulled out of a fight with Wlad thought.
