Never have/never have done

Hello,
Which one would sound better in:
A: She told me you were a huge basketball fan.
B: Me? I don't like basketball. I never have/I never have done.

I prefer "I never have". What do you think? Can you detect any differences in meaning?

Gene93I never have done.
The addition of the pro-verb "do" after auxiliary verbs is typically British. I think I can safely say that Americans never do that.
