David Haye is open to facing Tyson Fury after his upcoming comeback fight against Australian boxer Mark de Mori on Jan. 16 at O2 Arena in London.

Haye, who holds a 26-2 record with 24 knockout victories, has not fought since scoring a fifth-round knockout win against Dereck Chisora in July 2012. Most fans thought that he will not fight again, but the former World Boxing Association heavyweight champion opted to make a comeback.

While he is set to face de Mori in January, most fans are already linking him to a possible showdown with fellow Briton Tyson Fury. Haye said that he is open to facing Fury, but his British rival will only be on his radar if he manages to win against Wladimir Klitschko in their upcoming fight.

"The only way Tyson Fury would ever be on my radar is if he ever did become world champion," Haye said via BoxingScene. "If Tyson Fury was the unified champion, which he could possibly become if he wins on Saturday night, then he will be the man to beat."

Haye, who was supposed to face Fury before but had to pull out twice after sustaining a cut and shoulder injury, is not too impressed with Fury's 24-0 record. He said that the 27-year-old is unbeaten because he has not fought a lot of big-name fighters in the heavyweight division aside from Chisora last year.

"You never write a big man off, but in terms of technical ability, and the issue of has Tyson Fury beaten anybody world class, you have to question that," Haye said. "The best guy on Fury's record was Dereck Chisora."

As for his prediction on the upcoming fight between Fury and Klitschko, Haye believes the reigning World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Organization and International Boxing Organization heavyweight champion will cruise to an easy win.

Haye, who is familiar with Klitschko as he took a unanimous decision lost to the heavyweight superstar in 2011, gave Fury a 1-in-20 chance of winning against the Ukrainian. The 39-year-old champion has not lost since 2014 and has been ruling the heavyweight division over the past nine years and six months.

"This is Tyson Fury's first introduction to world heavyweight boxing," Haye said via ESPN. "To have your first introductory fight against Klitschko means it is going to be a very hard night's work for him. To go from fighting the Chisoras of this world to go in with a strong, healthy dominant world champion, will be a step too far."
