‘I went home dehydrated before I even touched anything because I was so frightened of being tested and failing the test because they’ve given me something.

He said: “I had good information off good resources not to touch anything in the changing rooms because they might try and drug you”.
Canny Londoner Haye timed his return to boxing with the week of Fury’s magnificent victory over long-reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday – a move which Fury claims he has seen right through. He said: “It’s not going to change me, I am what I am”. This man has been on top of the world and reigned for nine years.
Early in fight week, Team Fury revealed they were yet to be issued with a pair of Paffen gloves (Klitschko’s choice of handwear) that fitted the challenger.
Fury has no objections to facing Klitschko for a second time, for a “round two, ding, ding”, as he put it himself after the fight, but he has nothing but disdain for Haye.
According to Fury, he’s no way giving Haye another chance after the latter pulled out of their two previously scheduled fights, the most recent one in February 2013 when he was forced to undergo surgery to fix his shoulder. We know each other, and I know how to beat him. “We are looking at a Wembley Stadium fight in the UK”.
I saw lots of brits yelling Fury Fury Fury, at the Dusseldorf Arena, because probably since Lewis, Tyson Fury is their British hope.
“Wladimir Klitschko, who was defeated by Fury this weekend, has told the Telegraph that he believes the Tyson Fury “…definitely has some screws loose in his mind”, but that he ultimately respects him as a boxer.
“Why do we need to mention Deontay Wilder?” he asked.

The Mancunian initially derided the 30-year-old, three years his senior, calling him “a basketball player who took up boxing a couple of years ago”. Wladimir Klitschko was the number one in the division. “I’m a true natural fighter”. “I will never give him a pay day”, Fury said. I’ve had a full six months of it. It’s like winning the lottery and still buying lottery tickets – I’m not bothered. “I was tormenting him the whole way through – saying, ‘I want you next, ‘ and he just didn’t mess me around”. “I would rather make a voluntary defence of all those titles against Hughie than Haye”.
