Tyson Fury says he would rather give up one of his belts than fight former heavyweight champion David Haye.
Fury claimed the WBA, IBF and WBO titles with a points victory over Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday in Dusseldorf and talk soon turned to who the new champion might defend against.
Haye's name was among those mentioned, with the 35-year-old having announced last week that he would be returning to the ring after more than two years in apparent retirement.
But Fury is unwilling to forgive Haye for pulling out of two scheduled bouts, the last in February 2013 when he underwent serious shoulder surgery that appeared to have ended his career.
"Absolutely point-blank, I will say Haye will never get a chance after what he did to me," he said in The Guardian.
"I will never give him a pay day. If he gets mandatory for the WBA, he can have the WBA. Let him go and fight Fred Flintstone or Joe Bloggs and make no money.
"Whatever title he gets mandatory for, I will vacate. Let him fight the next challenger. I'm not giving him a pay day.
"I don't care if he says I can make £10m, it's not about money for me. I'm not here about the money, because, let's face it, the next fight with Wladimir Klitschko is going to be for a lot of money. He is getting no opportunities from us.. He is a pretender, a fraud."
Klitschko has already outlined his desire for a rematch, while WBC champion Deontay Wilder called out to Fury soon after his win over Klitschko, but the Briton also dismissed the American's claims to be his next challenger.
"Why do we need to mention Deontay Wilder?" he asked. "Let's laugh at his name, shall we?
"Wladimir Klitschko was the number one in the division. Probably the pound-for-pound king, whatever that means. This man has been on top of the world and reigned for nine years.
"With Floyd Mayweather gone, Wlad took his place and I just took him out. So why would I be bothered about a novice like Wilder?
"He's a basketball player who took up boxing a couple of years ago. I'm a true natural fighter. I've been doing it all my life. You get horses and dogs and it's bred into them to be what they are, whether it's racehorses or show dogs. And it's bred into me to be a fighter.
"So, if Deontay Wilder wants a unification fight he is going to have to wait, because Wladimir Klitschko has a round two... ding ding ding!"
