load balancing - Enable stats uri page in HAProxy tcp mode

Question

Below is my haxproxy configuration. I am trying to enable stats page so that I can see the status of the servers. But after validating the file, getting a warning message as below and stats page is not shown after hitting the configured uri.

'stats' statement ignored for frontend 'http-in' as it requires HTTP mode

I am using haproxy version 1.8.x.

global
   log /dev/log local0
   log /dev/log local1 notice
   user haproxy
   group haproxy
   daemon

defaults
   log  global
   mode tcp
   option   tcplog
   timeout connect 120s
   timeout client  300s
   timeout server  180s

frontend http-in        
     bind *:443
     stats enable
     stats refresh 10s
     stats uri /haproxy?stats
     default_backend servers


backend servers
    
     balance    roundrobin
     server sec-server1 192.68.29.230:8080 check
     server sec-server2 192.68.29.229:8080 check

Please assist. can we not see the stats page in tcp mode?
