David Haye has postponed next week’s fight with Tyson Fury after suffering a deep cut in sparring at his training camp.

The cut above his left eyebrow needed six stitches, which have to stay in place for five to seven days.

“Gutted isn’t even the word. Mentally, I’m on the floor at the moment,” said the former WBA heavyweight champion.

Haye is awaiting further medical tests before setting a new date for the Manchester bout.
