JOHN FURY has branded former world champion David Haye an ‘idiot’ for his pre-fight prediction of his son Tyson’s title defence against Deontay Wilder on Saturday.
Haye, who has been trying to fight Tyson himself, predicted Wilder to beat the WBC champ.
The 40-year-old’s prediction didn’t happen, with Wilder getting knocked out in round 11.
Fury told talkSPORT: “I’m not even gonna discuss that, that man’s an idiot.
“I don’t know why BT send him out there, he’s just a hater.
“He’s a hater, he’s got nothing good to say, he’s not a good pundit, he gets everything wrong and it’s all about David Haye.
“I’m not knocking his achievements, he did a brilliant job as world champion, but he needs to grow up and get a personality.
“I’ve got no respect for that man at all, none.”

Fury has also told his world champion son Tyson to only fight Usyk, as the rest in the heavyweight division are ‘not in Tyson’s class’.
He said: “He’s gotta go look for Usyk or nothing, in my idea.
“It’s Usyk next, or nothing.
“I wouldn’t bother with the rest of them, they’re not in Tyson’s class.
I’m not knocking his achievements, he did a brilliant job as world champion, but he needs to grow up and get a personality.
John Fury
“Would Dillian Whyte deal with Deontay Wilder?
“No. So why would they wanna put him in with my son and get him knocked out?
“Tyson can’t get up for them kind of fights. For me, I’ve told him, Usyk or don’t bother.”
