David Haye advises Anthony Joshua to avoid Tyson Fury heavyweight title fight

Former world heavyweight champion David Haye has warned Anthony Joshua against fighting Tyson Fury next, instead recommending a rematch with Dillian Whyte.

Haye was ringside for Joshua's win over Jermaine Franklin on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, but feels that he wasn't troubled enough by the American in a decisive points victory. Fans were disappointed not to see a statement knockout from Joshua, as was the man himself, and his fellow Brit reckons a meeting with Whyte would help to answer more questions.

Joshua has called for a meeting with long-time rival Fury this summer, with promoter Eddie Hearn keen to make the bout after multiple deals fell apart between the two in recent years. But Hate isn't so sure that it's the right move at the moment, insisting that Whyte is the better choice.
