David Haye has described Tyson Fury as a "clown" ahead of their fight in Manchester next weekend.

The heavyweight scrapper derided his opponent's attitude during recent media events, claiming that the Mancunian is prone to contradicting himself.

"I know what he's going to say before he says it. It's all stupid, none of it makes sense, he keeps contradicting himself. He's just a clown," he told Sport.

"I didn't really want to be there or to talk to him. I only wanted to be there to let everyone know that I'm looking forward to the fight.

"I just can't wait for when all the talking stops and it comes down to actually fighting. Because that's what I do best."

Haye will take on Fury at the Manchester Arena on September 28.
