Tyson Fury has claimed that a fight with David Haye is almost certainly going to become reality.

The Manchester-born heavyweight revealed that he has spoken with Haye's trainer Adam Booth and that the rumoured bout now has a "99.99%" chance of coming to fruition.

"I've just spoken to Adam Booth and they want the fight so I'm 99.99% sure it will get made now," Fury told the Daily Mail.

"If it doesn't get made now it's because they don't want it. I want this fight more than anything else in life. It's the biggest fight and it make sense.

"It's going to be a great fight. I hate the guy and want to shut him up and put an end to that mouth of his. I'd love it to happen in Manchester but we might flip a coin to see where it happens."

The unbeaten Fury overcame Steve Cunningham in his last fight back in April to extend his record to 21-0-0.
