Tyson Fury is calling out David Haye, Lennox Lewis and anyone who’ll listen (NSFW language)

A simple quote from Lennox Lewis was enough to send Tyson Fury over the edge on Twitter, as he hits out with some fairly abusive tweets

A simple quote from Lennox Lewis was enough to send Tyson Fury over the edge on Twitter, as he hits out with some fairly abusive tweets

Tyson Fury is most certaintly a fiery character, and he’s been proving it today on Twitter with some fairly outlandish declarations about his next opponent David Haye.

Haye’s big fight with Fury has been pushed back to February 8th as a result of Haye suffering a fairly nasty cut, but Fury is not buying it, at least according to his tweets, some of which have since been deleted, where he stated that Haye cut himself on purpose.

But it wasn’t just Haye he was upset with. After a recent article in the Telegraph in which Lennox Lewis was asked about Fury and stated that he wouldn’t be lured back in to the ring by him but could still knock him out, Fury responded with a barrage of tweets at Lewis.

Fury did get a bit carried away with himself in the middle of all this ranting, and posted some tweets which have since been deleted in which he made homophobic slurs against both Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko, claiming the two were “100% homosexual”, for which he is likely to face a hefty fine from the Boxing Board of Control.

To round off his rant, he stated that he’s ready to fight anyone, any time, which as far as we’re aware was only a rule if you held the hardcore title in the WWF in the early 2000s.

We suspect that there may be a slight Twitter silence from the man himself for a while as his PR people try to clean up this mess, and those in charge at the Board of Control decide how much he’ll have to pay for this latest rant.
