Tyson Fury has mocked David Haye on Twitter by posting a picture of himself with a cut from sparring.

Haye and Fury were due to fight in September, but Haye suffered a cut above his right eye, and the bout was moved to February. However, after Haye underwent a shoulder operation in November, the fight was called off altogether, with Fury publicly criticising the former world heavyweight champion following the career-threatening injury.

And now, following a sparring session with Eddie Chambers, Fury has once again reignited his war of words with Haye, tweeting: "Look I got a cut in sparing yesterday. Should I do a haymaker & pull my next fight?? Lol p***y. I'm still fighting!
