Fury: Haye will beat Chisora

Former British heavyweight champion Tyson Fury reckons David Haye will cruise to a comfortable points win over Dereck Chisora.

Fury reckons Chisora's aggressive boxing style (which was good enough to beat Fury last year), does have the potential to trouble his opponent, but that Haye should come out on top provided he doesn't get drawn into a slugfest.

Haye has greater technical attributes than Chisora, Fury believes, and expects that to make the difference come July 14 at Upton Park.

"I see Haye winning on points," Fury told the Sun. "Chisora has a decent chance but it depends if Haye comes for a fight or not. That is not the strategy he needs to take into the ring. As long as Haye comes to box and not go toe to toe, he will beat Chisora comfortably.

"Chisora has to hit you with five, six, seven shots in a row before he hurts you, before the ref is forced to jump in and stop the fight. Chisora is good when fighting at close range and I expect it to be another cagey fight like the one against Klitschko."
