John Fury couldn't help but goad David Haye after watching his son Tyson knock out Dillian Whyte at Wembley on Saturday night.
The Gypsy King put on a masterclass in front of 94,000 people to defend his WBC heavyweight title before reiterating his retirement comments.

Haye and the champion's dad are not on the best of terms and exchanged a few words in the build-up to the fight.
The former two-weight world champion predicted Whyte would win and that provoked a strong reaction from Fury Sr.
He called Haye a 'hater' and wanted him banned from Wembley Stadium.
The wish was not fulfilled as Haye was commentating on the fight from ringside, but the Furys had the last laugh.
Speaking to talkSPORT after the fight, big John said: "We've worked hard for it. It's been a special time in that gym. I know that if anything would have went wrong they'd have said I caused it.
"David Haye, where is he? I never made a prediction all week because I wanted them all to be wrong.

"Don't underestimate the Gypsy King ever. The best in the world by a country mile."
While we all want to see Tyson Fury, 34, continue in the boxing ring and attempt to become the first man since Lennox Lewis to become undisputed heavyweight champion, he is all set to retire.
When asked if Tyson Fury has anything left to prove, Fury senior said: "No."
He continued: "Absolutely [happy if he walks away], but Tyson is too good to walk away. He's got years left in him. Is that not the best Tyson you've seen?"
Fury Sr also said that their game plan was executed to perfection as he knocked Whyte out in the sixth round.
He added: "We said we will get him with a sucker punch. Keep touching him up, keep going and disguise the uppercut.
"First time he tried it and it worked. Wallop."
