‘He’s a hater’ – John Fury wants David Haye banned from commentating on Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte after once again predicting his son will lose

Tyson Fury's father John Fury has told talkSPORT that he wants David Haye banned from commentating on his son's fight with Dillian Whyte next weekend.

BT Sport pundit Haye picked Whyte to pull off the upset and beat Tyson as he took part in a media day to promote the bout, which will be live on talkSPORT on April 23.

“You’ll get massive odds betting on Dillian Whyte," Haye told , "No-one is really backing him whatsoever.

"But, you know, the type of opponent that you’d need to beat Tyson Fury - Dillian Whyte has all of those attributes.

"He can punch hard, he’s got cardio for days he’s got the desire and belief in himself.

“I think Whyte is going to pull off the upset. I think this is his opportunity. I think this is what he’s been waiting for.

"This happened at the right time for him and I think the fact that Tyson Fury’s so highly regarded by everybody works in Dillian’s favour.

"So I’m going with the unpopular underdog.”

This is not the first time the Hayemaker has picked against Tyson, having also predicted that Deontay Wilder would beat him.

The remarks have angered Tyson's father John Fury, who is now calling for Haye to be banned from commentating as a result.

Fury Sr told White and Jordan on talkSPORT: "David Haye is not allowed to comment on that show.

"David Haye needs to take a back seat in the stands where nobody can see him.

"I've already made it quite clear to Frank Warren - he is not allowed to be commentating on my son's fight, otherwise there will be a problem.

"That's black and white, the nation can hear me. He's a hater, I don't want him near my family, that's the bottom line.

"They know me, BT, and I will not be silent if he's there."

Asked if it would be difficult to get Haye removed from the role, Fury Sr replied: "No, it's not difficult because he's never got a prediction right.

"He's the worst pundit in the world and I'll tell you why - his heart rules his head.

"Because he would have his crown jewels chopped off if Dillian Whyte could beat Tyson Fury.

"And I don't want people, them negative vibes, around the ring.

"I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

"There's a lot of good commentators out there, not one-sided, talk the truth, equal, sit on the fence, they watch the boxing and whatever's happening, they comment the truth.

"Better people than him.

"He would say Santa Claus to beat Tyson Fury next Saturday night.

"He's a hater, always has been and he's jealous of Tyson because he'd love to be the man Tyson is and he can't, and jealousy consumes him.

"It's been proven and I don't want him near the show."

Pushed on whether he was being over-the-top with his reaction, Fury Sr insisted: "No, not in my eyes, no.

"Everybody that Tyson's fought it's, 'Oh, they're gonna beat Tyson, they're gonna beat Tyson.'
