John Fury wants David Haye banned from Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte fight commentary

John Fury has demanded that BT Sport remove David Haye from commentating on Tyson Fury’s fight with Dillian Whyte next weekend.

Fury, who is unbeaten in 32 fights, will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Whyte at Wembley on April 23.

‘David Haye is not allowed to comment on that show,’ John Fury told talkSPORT.

‘David Haye needs to take a back seat in the stands where nobody can see him.

Asked if it is difficult to get Haye removed from the show, Fury replied: ‘No, it’s not difficult because he’s never got a prediction right.
