​Boxing fans honestly can't believe David Haye's prediction for the blockbuster heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte. 

​Fury vs. Whyte is just over a week away as the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' defends his WBC world heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium.

It'll mark his first fight on English soil since 2018 when he returned to action against Sefer Seferi in Manchester.

But, according to Haye, Fury will lose his homecoming as the former world heavyweight champion has tipped Whyte to stun Fury next weekend. 

He reckons 'The Body Snatcher' has all the right attributes to cause a massive upset. 

"If I had a pound, I’d put it on Dillian Whyte for the upset," he said via The Sun. 

"Yeah, I’m going with Dillian with the massive, massive upset. We had an upset with Anthony Joshua (against Oleksandr Usyk).

"It happens, crazy stuff happens.

"And in the heavyweight division, when you think you have things figured out, something crazy happens.

"And someone crazy is Dillian Whyte, and the fact that he’s not interested in doing any promotion, all he wants to do is get in the ring and fight, I think that’s a positive."

Haye explained: "[Fury] is used to having the longer reach but the advantage will be minimised due to Whyte’s freakishly long arms.​

"The type of opponent that you'd need to beat Tyson Fury - Dillian Whyte has all of those attributes.

"I'm gonna go with Whyte, I think Whyte's gonna pull off the upset."

Needless to say, Haye's prediction got fans talking online. 

One Twitter user wrote: "David Haye should no longer be on our screens giving his opinion."​

A second joked: "Haye had Homer Simpson beating Tatum."​

A third added: "Haye surely doing this as a windup now."​

Haye's prediction has NOT gone down well with John Fury, who has claimed that he's not allowed to commentate Fury vs. Whyte.

"I've already made it quite clear to Frank Warren - he is not allowed to be commentating on my son's fight, otherwise there will be a problem. He's a hater, I don't want him near my family," he revealed.

It's not the first time Haye has delivered an outlandish prediction, having backed Dereck Chisora to beat Oleksandr Usyk​, Amir Khan to defeat Kell Brook and Deontay Wilder to stop Fury, among others. 

Will Whyte upset Fury? Let us know what you think.
