David Haye's heavyweight bout with Tyson Fury has been rescheduled for February 8 in Manchester after the original fight was postponed.

Haye recently pulled out of the contest, which would have taken place this weekend, due to a cut that he suffered in training.

"News of the date in February is music to my ears," former WBA champion Haye said on his official website. "I was absolutely devastated this weekend, and felt as though I'd let a lot of people down. But now, with this new date, I couldn't be happier.

"My fans will still get the chance to see what they all wanted to see this weekend - they'll get to see Tyson Fury sparked out in a spectacular fashion."

Fury's trainer claimed on Sunday that there was no chance of the fight being rearranged.
