DEONTAY WILDER destroyed David Haye in sparring as he prepared to fight Tyson Fury, claims retired British heavyweight Richard Towers.
WBC champ Wilder, 32, is chasing a unification bout with Anthony Joshua.
And Towers believes the American can cause huge problems for 28-year-old AJ after seeing him run rings around Haye, 37, in 2013.
The Sheffield puncher told Boxing News: “Me and Deontay are friends – we sparred in Sheffield, London, even my kitchen.
"We’re very close so we’d go easy. But I remember him just throwing a right hand and not meaning to put anything into it, the speed – until you get in there you don’t realise – and that’s the same for his power.
"His chin, I’ve hit him clean on the chin, and watched David Haye catch him clean on the gym – he wiped the floor with David.”
