No, the fight between Tyson Fury and David Haye did not take place. On September 19, 2013, which was nine days before the fight, Haye got a cut above his left eyebrow, which required six stitches, so he was unable to fight. However, a new date of February 8, 2014, has been selected. But Haye's damaged shoulder forced him to pull out once more. At the time, Fury was engulfed by spiraling problems with alcohol, drugs, and depression. Haye had retired for good by the time Fury made his stunning return to world-title fighting.
