Chisora v Haye – inevitable says Warren

dereck chisora could face david haye in the ringDereck Chisora has appealed his ban imposed by The British Boxing Board of Control and manager Frank Warren feels a showdown between Chisora and Haye is inevitable. The bad blood between the two fighters and subsequent press attention will probably be enough to sell tickets, despite Chisora’s recent poor fight record of losing 3 of his last 4, although he did put up a gallant effort against Vitali.

David Haye’s ring rust has been mentioned on this site before and a showdown with Chisora before a mega fight against Vitali would make sense both from a fighting point of view and a financial one.

Frank Warren sounds keen to get his man in the ring with Haye, he went on to say “It’s a natural fight, it doesn’t matter what anyone says. It’s a bigger fight than either of them fighting Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko.

“There’s lot for them to fight about, in a proper environment. I do see the fight happening. It’s the proper forum for them to settle their differences.”

David Haye is still wanted for questioning over the recent brawl in Munich and doesn’t have a licence to fight in the UK and may not get one after the Chisora spat. To make this fight as lucrative as possible it needs to be held in the UK and Chisora getting his licence back would pave the way for it to happen. Whether he does or not is another question.

Lennox Lewis: Haye will do better against Vitali

Lennox Lewis former heavyweight champion talking about david hayeLennox Lewis has come out in support of fellow Briton David Haye stating that he thinks Haye would have a better chance of success against Vitali than Wladimir.

The former world heavyweight champion went on to say “David wants to redeem himself against the bigger Klitschko, who I believe is the more awkward and difficult one, but maybe he can do better against the guy who doesn’t move too well.”

Lennox went on to talk about David Haye’s excuses for losing the Wladimir Klitschko fight, excuses that made David Haye a laughing stock in boxing circles. Lennox said “I was surprised that David didn’t get a better result against Wladimir, but like he said, he did hurt his toe. It’s hard to move properly when you hurt your toe but, if it was me, I wouldn’t have taken the fight because you have to be in perfect nick when you challenge the best.

“You have to be perfect on that day you step into the ring. When it comes to colds, belly aches, hurt toes, you have to make sure you don’t have any of those.”

David Haye, despite stating that he was happy with what he has achieved in boxing, must be itching to get back in the ring and banish the memory of the Wladimir fight. Who else is out there that Vitali could fight? Is David Haye ready to steam into a fight with Vitali after being out of the ring for so long? We must surely get some answers by the summer!

WBC refuse David Haye Licence

The latest twist in the fallout from the Munich brawl is WBC president Jose Sulaiman stating that his governing body will not sanction a fight with David Haye. Mr Sulaiman wnet on to say “The WBC will not accept David Haye.

“He is not rated by the WBC. And the British Boxing Board of Control can’t issue anything against someone who’s not affiliated to them any more. If he was licensed, he’d have his license taken away from him.

“It would be setting a bad example for boxing if we accepted him. Haye is not a good example for boxing.”

The much talked about showdown between Vitali Klitschko and David Haye could still happen once the dust has settled a bit more. But the longer it goes on there has to be question marks over the ring rust of Haye, who hasn’t fought since losing to Wladimir last summer.

There are reports starting to surface that could face another opponent in June.

David Haye – Dereck Chisora Post Fight Brawl Video

David Haye and Dereck Chisora was involved in an unbelievable brawl at a post fight press conference in Munich. Dereck Chisora had just lost to Vitali Klitschko on points when Haye, who had been commentating on the fight for Box Nation, start calling out Vitali from the back of the room.

Chisora branded Haye an embarrassment and said “Sky Sports don’t do box office because of David Haye. You messed up box office for all the young fighters coming up and i’m going to give him two slaps for that. If David Haye is a fighter he should fight me.”

Haye’s response was “you have lost three fights in a row.” (he’s actually lost 3 of his last 4)

Chisora’s manager Frank Warren then suggested that Chisora fight Haye and the winner would then get a shot at Vitali.

More bickering ensued between Chisora and Haye before Dereck got out of his seat and confronted Haye and all hell broke loose. After the violent exchange Chisora threaten to shoot Haye and physically burn him.

Suger Ray Not So Sweet On Haye

Sugar Ray Leonard is the latest boxer to come out and give his opinion on Dereck Chisora and David Haye’s post fight brawl in Munich. Sugar Ray, the five weight world champion, went on to say “Those things do happen but there has to be some integrity and some control.

“Boxing always had it’s drama. Is it really, really bad? Not really, but it has to be controlled for sure.

“I think the major difference is the fact champions don’t fight champions like they used to,” he said.

“There are not enough superstars in the sport to keep it balanced.

“The top guys are Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Junior, although you also have incredible fighters like Amir Khan and David Haye – you have guys who give boxing some stimulation, some action, drama and what have you.”
