David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) suffered a bad cut over his left eye during a sparring session with one of his sparring partners on Friday, and due to the extent of the cut it means that Haye’s September 28th fight against Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) will have to be postponed. Right now they’re taking 2 weeks, but with a cut like that it could wind up being a lot longer than that. Haye needed 6 stitches to have the cut closed. Why Haye was still doing sparring with a week to go before before his important fight is the big question. You’re supposed to be done with sparring by that point, and I have no clue what Haye hoped to accomplish by still sparring that close to the fight. To say it was a bone-headed move on Haye’s part is being kind at this point. Haye was reportedly sparring with 6’6″ Filip Hrgovic when he suffered the cut, according to Sky Sports. Haye said via Sky “Gutted isn’t even the word. Mentally, I’m on the floor at the moment. I’m devastated most of all for my loyal fans, my family and my team, as well ad Tyson Fury and his team.” Read more http://www.boxingnews24.com/2013/09/david-haye-suffers-cut-fight-with-tyson-fury-postponed/
