Former Champion David Haye Urges Joshua and Fury to Settle the Score

Former world heavyweight champion David Haye believes the time has come for Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to put their differences aside and step into the ring. As a two-weight world titlist and one of the pioneers of British heavyweight boxing, Haye's opinion carries significant weight. He is adamant that this is the biggest and most significant fight both boxers could possibly have, and that they need each other to cement their legacies. According to Haye, the fact that both Fury and Joshua have lost their world titles to Oleksandr Usyk makes this fight even more crucial. With Fury recently returning to boxing after a year-long hiatus and Joshua recovering from a car accident, the stage is set for a highly anticipated showdown. Talks are ongoing for the two to face off this year, with Joshua likely to have a warm-up bout first. Haye acknowledges that both boxers may be past their prime, but he believes the fight can still be a commercial success, drawing parallels with the Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao bout. He also thinks that Fury's recent 12 rounds with Arslanbek Makhmudov have prepared him well for the Joshua fight, which he describes as a 'nice stepping stone to the big one'.
