David Haye backs Tyson Fury to return stronger

David Haye has backed Tyson Fury to return as an improved fighter when he recovers from the issues which are keeping him from the ring.

Fury on Wednesday vacated his WBA and WBO heavyweight titles, and on Thursday the British Boxing Board of Control suspended his boxer’s licence pending further investigation into “anti-doping and medical issues”.

He has been seeing a psychologist to treat the depression that by his own admission had led to him taking cocaine and contributed to his withdrawal from a lucrative rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.
