World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury tells David Haye to forget about a shot at his belts
Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight belts
NEW world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has told David Haye to forget about getting a shot at his new titles - and is aiming for a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembely Stadium.
 
The British fighter pulled off a stunning upset to beat Klitschko on a unanimous points verdict to strip the Ukrainian of his WBO, IBF and WBA belts.
And Fury then claimed he would rather give up his titles than face rival Haye, who announced his comeback last week. "I will never give him a payday," said Fury, Britain's eighth world heavyweight champion.
"If he gets mandatory for the WBA, he can have the WBA. Let him go and fight Fred Flintstone or Joe Bloggs and make no money. Whatever title he gets mandatory for, I will vacate. Let him fight the next challenger.
"I'm not giving him a payday. I don't care if he says I can make £10million, it's not about money for me."

Fury was supposed to fight Haye twice in 2013 but the former WBA heavyweight champion pulled out twice - first with a cut, then a shoulder injury.
It left the Manchester-born traveller furious and he contemplated quitting the sport. "The Man with No Name [Haye], I tell you now, will never get an opportunity,." said Fury. "For what he did to me, what he put me through mentally, physically, he tortured me, that kid. And I will never give him an opportunity for that.
Fury is likely to face Klitschko in a rematch next year before he can move on. The contract for this fight included an immediate rematch clause and the Ukrainian must officially confirm he will take up the option within two months.
Sources close to both camps admitted it does not have to be in Germany again and will take place "where it makes most commercial sense", with Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy saying: "I think right now, Wembley Stadium would be very appealing at the right time of year, definitely."
