Tyson Fury Calls Out David Price And David Haye For Stadium Fights
Written by Kerr Ferguson on 27th December 2022.

David Price, Tyson Fury and DAvid Haye
Tyson Fury has called for two British fighters to come out of retirement and face him after the fights never materialised while they were in their prime.

‘The Gypsy King’ has been looking back on bouts that never were, and has claimed that he would still face both David Haye and David Price, despite the pair having hung up the gloves.

It was in the early 2010’s that the Liverpool man was rumoured to be facing Tyson Fury. Price, then British and Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion, had previously beaten Fury in the amateurs. Nothing materialised despite negotiations progressing.

As for Haye, the 2013 fight was signed, sealed and press conference delivered. It would have been either a swan song for the older Haye or a passing of the torch to the younger Fury. It never happened though, as the smaller man received an injury in sparring and pulled out.

Speaking to the RAW podcast by IFL TV, ‘The Gypsy King mused on whether the fights would sell out in the current day.

“I wonder if it would still sell out a stadium if me and big old David Price had a fight. Even though he’s retired, Old Trafford or Anfield I think we sell it out for the WBC World Heavyweight title. Or even if the WBC wouldn’t sanction it, we could do it for the North West title of Great Britain.”

“The rivalry was that big for so long, and he was the only British person to ever beat me, amateur or pro. I think it’d sell out. And I also think that a fight with the toe breaker would sell a stadium out. Do you think me and him [David Haye] would still sell out?”

Fury went on to put the names alongside Anthony Joshua as his biggest domestic rivalries, and called out either Price or Haye to get training and come out of retirement for a last dance.

“There’s still three big rivalry fights in this country for me. Even though they ain’t active or whatever. David Price, David Haye Anthony Joshua. Three … So if you’re out there and I know you’re still out there and I know you’re still in the gym.”

“I still think three of them fights sell out a stadium, and I really do mean that. It’s all about the ‘what if?’ isn’t it?”


Of course, fans will hope that the Anthony Joshua fight actually happens and doesn’t fall into the same category as Haye and Price.

Despite delving into the archives, Fury has a very real fight in front of him targeted for early 2023. He has all but signed the contract to face the heavyweight division’s other belt holder, Oleksandr Usyk, to crown an undisputed champion

Haye and Price?!?!

[Boxerbeetle]

This definitely deserved its own thread.

[CaptainSpacerod]

Both Haye and Price stand at least as good a chance of beating him as Chisora did

[Coco]

Be nice to see Pricey get the payday.

it's just to make a story this it's not gona happen think fury just speaking his thoughts again haye would definitely have a better chance than price for 4/5 rounds then an injury will occur

[mickey1975]

I had big bets on the Haye fight.

[The Gratest]

No way will Fury go near Haye or Price.

[Controversial]

Sounds like more nonsense from Fury.

[mickey1975]

Sounds like more nonsense from Fury.

He was in a one hour chat where loads of stuff came up. He didn’t just come out with it.

[jameswilson]

Never mentions Ustinov’s name does he?!

Don’t tell Boxerbeetle or Leprrchaun that Fury did an hour long interview for god sake. It’ll be ‘what!!!!!! Who da facks gonna listen to something an hour long!!!!!’

[tony1234]

No mention of Bellew ?

[pinklady]

I'm sure he would,why not carry on making easy money like he has all year.

[Coco]

Wouldn't be hard for Haye to get himself a top ten ranking with the WBC

[Steveh583]

Never mentions Ustinov’s name does he?!

i really wanted to see that at the time

[Ruthless-RKO]

Wonder what happened to Uncle Peter.

Chisora pulled out initially due to a broken hand.

[gilgamesh]

If he fights either one of them, he needs to put the whole thing together relatively quickly.

With the way all the big fights take a long ass time to get made nowadays. I think people can forgive a mismatch if it's at least done quickly.

It was Hughie. He died. I think his wife miscarried as well.

[wrighty]

I really wanted to see the Fury Haye fight. It would have been good at the time.


We all know Tyson is afraid of mentioning Sexton

[KiwiRider]

Be nice to see Pricey get the payday.

He's done pretty well considering the level he reached. Mulit millionaire, can't complain can he?
Plus I'd hate to see him clock up more head trauma - he has had some really bad KO's.
Better to be healthy

Who has told you he's a multi millionaire?

Umm, his purses.

[Glass Joe]

No way Price is a millionaire from boxing. He was with Maloney and i doubt box nnation was big money to many deuctions. You pretty much have to be a PPV fighter to be a millionaire from boxing these days as a home fighter.

Here's objectivity... I grew up in a time when champions had non title fights and did exhibitions all the time... the great Roberto Duran would defend the title and the next time you saw him he would be in Bum Fucked Egypt somewhere boxing against journeymen and even pro debuters from time to time... don't believe me Google it sometime champions in the 1990s and prior constantly were fighting subpar opposition or doing exhibitions and nobody batted an eyelash. Why? Because they were fights that would never upset the apple cart and gave the public the chance to see the champions on Affordable Cards.

Some of you people seriously need to pull the stick out of your ass and grow up a little bit when it comes to looking at boxing on the big picture. I seen that interview with Kugan Cassius and all I saw was two friends chitchatting, with the heavyweight champion of the world saying it would be nice to stage some smaller fights with opponents that he could have fought but never did just for nostalgic reasons.

Again people need to quit being so pessimistic and being such assholes about everything cuz the Undisputed fight will happen and more meaningful fights will happen, but people need to understand there is nothing wrong at all with putting on matches that have no real legacy building qualifications because that has been part of the business probably since the beginning of boxing thousands of years ago.

Almost every single boxing champion and contender worth naming from the 1990s and prior engaged in matches like this. It's all for the fans who have less money for them to have the opportunity to see a world champion in their local area. Don't believe me look up John L Sullivan when he did the nationwide knockout tours facing the toughest men from coast to coast just so people had the chance of seeing the world's heavyweight champion at least once in their lifetime.

Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all
