Not sure what I think of this but Haye will fight Chisora on the 14th July. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/17987600

I must admit I did LOL at the Haye Chisora press conference the other day.

Chisora: "Last time I saw David he had a knife"

Haye: "I was eating a steak"



Haye's "He glasse meh, he glassed meh" impression of Del-Boy was brilliant aswell

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Wed May 09, 2012 6:25 pm  

"The best thing to come out of his mouth is my fist.."

Haha another good one I thought. I'll watch the fight. I think that Chisora is a disgrace and Haye is on his last legs of credibility for me, but it should be a good scrap, which Haye will win inside 10 rounds.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Wed May 09, 2012 8:40 pm  

Luxembourg boxing board of control has sanctioned this fight also, which their counterparts are not impressed with at all.

HE GLARSED ME!

Won't be watching that crap. Especially not on Box Nation. I hear they are popping on a £20 joining fee too. Make a few money on subs, one of them gets an injury and Rahmann v Povetkin takes it's place as top of the bill... Or am I being a bit cynical!?

BBBC threatening to ban anyone involved - fighters, officials, refs, cornermen, promoters, managers etc - in the Haye-Chisora fight from operating under their auspices.

What does everyone think about this? Obviously their behaviour was deplorable and if it was Warren's suggestion (not beyond the realms of fantasy) that's was worse than ill-thought out. Warren shouldn't be undermining the BBBC, however the discriminatory ban on Chisora was equally as poor on their behalf. The appeal is in a couple of weeks time but the actions by all have been just ridiculous.

I have sympathy with Warren trying to create some buzz about it and his TV station because I'd rather boxing be successful than the dreary MMA scene. Haye-Chisora seems like a relatively evenly-matched contest which is what the public wants. After putting up with a decade of Bruno fighting chumps people are more wiser now to bum-of-the-month contests and this could be a huge fight if handled correctly.
