David Haye believes Tyson Fury went "too far" with his latest Twitter rant, which landed the unbeaten heavyweight in hot water with the British Board of Boxing Control after he posted a string of homophobic slurs. Fury took to the social networking site in response to comments made by Lennox Lewis, who stated he would knock Fury out inside a round - despite being 48 years old.

 

However, Haye revealed he was not impressed with the way Fury had conducted himself - and vowed to get his retribution on "the keyboard warrior" when they go toe-to-toe in their rearranged British blockbuster bout in Manchester on February 8.

 

"I'm counting down the days until I'm able to step in the ring and punish Fury for being the complete idiot he is," Haye told The Sun. "His latest homophobic rant aimed at myself, Lennox Lewis and [Vitali and Wladimir] Klitschko has really taken things too far.

 

"It was only a few weeks back that Fury was face-to-face with Lennox on television and he conveniently didn't say a peep. Fury sat there looking like a nervous teenage boxing fan, in awe of the great Lennox Lewis. Why didn't Fury have the balls to say it to Lennox's face? I think the simple answer is that Lennox would have knocked his head clean off his shoulders - even at the ripe age of 48!

 

"The keyboard warrior that is Tyson Fury will only be able to pipe up until February 8, as after that night he will go back to where he came from... nowhere!"
