DAVID HAYE has doubled down on his call out of fellow Brit Tyson Fury.
The former WBA heavyweight champion made a beeline for the Wythenshawe warrior after his successful comeback fight against Joe Fournier last month.
And the Hayemaker, 40, is adamant he can get the better of the WBC Gypsy King, who he was meant to face in 2013.
He told talkSPORT: “I genuinely, genuinely do.
“You look at my last two fights. I had an Achilles tendon rupture. I had a bicep rupture.
“I got battered in the second fight, I haven’t done anything in three years. There’s no reason why, on paper, I’ve got any chance.
“But what I do have – I’ve got every single person thinking I’ve got no chance.
“How hard do you think Fury would train to fight me, knowing how washed up and finished I am?

“How hard do you think he’s training for this fight now? Three weeks!
“Fury is way better than me on paper and in reality. I think the psychology of someone thinking they can completely dominate you, and they don’t quite understand what you bring to the table, it gives you power.”
Hammersmith hitman Haye has no intention of fighting anyone other than Fury, who is days away from a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.
He added: “It’s the only fight that’s big enough, in my mind.
“The potential accolades and highs of winning that are worth letting him punch me.”

David Haye on a potential fight with Tyson Fury
Fury, 33, will renew his rivalry with former WBC champ Wilder in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning.
But Haye has been less than impressed by the lineal champ’s preparations for his first title defence.
He said: “Everybody is completely writing off Wilder for this third fight.
“I haven’t spoken to anybody who thinks he has a shot in this fight. I don’t see it that way.
“I’ve seen Fury not preparing like he did the second time around.
“There were the well-publicised rumours about the fight being delayed because preparation wasn’t going that well. He only got into Vegas late September.
“Three-week training camp for a fight of this magnitude? Maybe there’s some over-confidence.
“He is so supremely confident from the second fight, he thinks he can roll into this third fight and it’ll be a home run.”
