Dereck Chisora slaps Vitali Klitschko aheadof title fight

Chisora slaps Klitschko

British boxer Dereck Chisora slapped heavyweight champion VitaliKlitschko at the weigh-in for their world title fight on Saturday.

Klitschko did not retaliate as the two men were pulled apart but vowed to take his revenge inside thering in Munich.

"He hit me not like a boxer but like a woman, with an open hand," said the World Boxing Council(WBC) champion.

"If he wants to fight properly, he must do that with his fists. I'll be hitting him back tomorrow, in thering."

Chisora, 28, is a big underdog going into the fight after suffering two high-profile losses in his lastthree fights.

Ukrainian Klitschko, 40, added: "He's not all there. Dereck is full of nervousness and I feel he is afraid,otherwise he would not have jumped back like he did."

Chisora's trainer Don Charles said his fighter's actions were "totally unacceptable".

"I'm speechless," he said. "I'm with him 16 hours of every day and I didn't see that coming. It's totallyunacceptable."

Jose Sulaiman, president of the WBC, described the slap as "unacceptable" and suggested that

Chisora could face a heavy fine.

He toldBoxingScene.com: "This is definitely a lack of respect for the sport and completelyunacceptable.

"It was a cheap shot and my message is that there is a fine so he'll [Chisora] feel it.

"He's no gentleman at all and he's failed in what we expect from boxers.

"He wanted Vitali to lose control but Vitali will make him pay for this in the ring, definitely."

BBC 5 live boxing reporter Mike Costello, who was at the weigh-in, said the Chisora's antics were"disgraceful".

"Somehow, Klitschko refrained from hitting back," said Costello. "He looked shocked. It has neverhappened to him before."

Chisora insisted on Thursday he would take Klitschko's title.

"I will end the Klitschko reign and cause a massive upset," said the Londoner. "It is the end for Vitali, Ipromise you."

Promoter Francis Warren, representing his father Frank's company, said: "We're all scratching ourheads about it, to be honest.

"You always expect something from Dereck - he's a character - but it's usually something that winds

people up or is a bit jovial."So for him to get physical and aggressive, unprovoked, is surprising. But I'm sure there's method tohis madness and we'll find out if the madness has paid off tomorrow night."

Asked whether he expects sanctions against Chisora, Warren said: "That's up to the governing bodiesto decide. If there are sanctions, then I suppose we will find out in the next couple of weeks.

"I'll sit down and have a chat with Dereck about it but at the moment we're focused on tomorrow night.

"Dereck is obviously a fiery character and that has got him to where he is. He can react like that tosituations but he is a boxer, a fighter. Let's focus on the fight."

Chisora weighed in at 17st 3lbs, just a pound heavier than his lightest weight for a professional bout.Klitschko came in at 17st 6lbs.

Vitali Klitschko beats Dereck Chisora on

points in WBC heavyweight title defence in

MunichVitali Klitschko meted out a one-sided 12-round beating

on Dereck Chisora to earn a 10th successive defence of the

World Boxing Council title, but this was the stiffest

challenge the Ukrainian has faced since his return from

knee surgery in 2008.

ByGareth A Davies, Boxing Correspondent in Munich

Chisora may have been labelled a coward for his slap 24 hours earlier, and caused furtherignominy just before the contest for spitting at Klitschkos brother Wladimir inside the ring,

but this was a brave performance way beyond what anyone, apart from Chisoras immediate

team, knew the battling British fighter was capable of.

Even by the 12th round, badly beaten up and behind on all but arguably two rounds, Chisora,the bad boy of the event, refused to buckle or admit to defeat. He threw everything he had atthe giant champion, who won a lopsided, unanimous decision 118-10 twice and 119-111.

In 1976, Yorkshireman Richard Dunn was put down five times by Muhammad Ali here at theOlympiahalle and eventually stopped by referee Herbert Tomser after being counted out inthe fifth.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/garethadavies/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/garethadavies/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/garethadavies/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/garethadavies/

It was seen as a courageous performance by Dunn. This was beyond that by Chisora, whomarched forward in all 12 rounds, bobbing and weaving, attempting to keep the pressure onhis foe, all the time eating heavy right hands and jabs from the champion.

The British heavyweight refused to keep to the script. When Klitschko arrived in the ring,Chisora was back at his game, pushing the Ukrainian. The two fighters were quicklyseparated. Then, after the anthems, Chisora spat water in Wladimir Klitschkos face.

Slapping, pushing and spitting over, we finally had the fight. Klitschko was put underpressure by Chisora in terms of pace but had an answer at every turn. He buckled Chisoraslegs for the first time in round nine, and landed some powerful uppercuts throughout therounds.

Klitschko moved his career record to 44-2 with 40 knockouts, while Chisora, 15-3, wasconsigned to his third defeat in four fights.

You can boo me you can hate me, but as long as people pay money to come and fight I am

happy. I dont care, I pushed the pace of the fight, said Chisora. Id fight him again, or his

brother. Im not proud of my performance because I felt I let down my fans.Frank Warren said it was Klitschkos hardest test since he fought Lennox Lewis in 2003: It

was a phenomenoal performance by Dereck and it was only the experience by Klitscho thatbeat him. No one gave him an earthly of winning but he went out there and proved everyonewrong. He has the makings of a heavyweight world champion.

After being pummelled around the ring, Chisora was also hit in the pocket with a $50,000(32,500) fine for slapping Klitschko at Fridays weigh-in.

WBC president Jose Sulaiman confirmed the scale of the punishment yesterday, andcondemned the underdog challengers actions in the strongest possible terms. Sulaiman

labelled it a lack of respect for the sport, completely unacceptable, a cheap shot.

The controversy had continued in the hours leading up to the fight. Chisora was embroiled incontroversy on his arrival at the arena. Chisora had had his hands wrapped early and wasforced to remove them and have them re-wrapped.

Under championship rules, the opposing camp has the right to send a representative to see thehand-wrapping process of the opponent. Klitschko appealed immediately. He sent his brother,world champion Wladimir, to check the detail.

By all accounts, Chisora had initially refused, with the start of the fight then delayed byalmost 20 minutes. Further ignominyChisora is also facing a fine from the WBC over thehand-wrap situation. Although officials should remain neutral, even Sulaiman, before thecontest, was saying that Klitschko would make him [Chisora] pay for it in the ring.

David Haye, working in-studio on television station BoxNation, which aired the fight in theUK, said: Financially what Chisora did with the slap was a mistake. Forfeiting that part ofhis purse, when he will have to work in a nine-to-five job in a few months time, he mightwish he hadnt. It's an expensive slap for someone who doesnt earn a lot of money.

"Coming off two losses, if Chisora has walked away with 50,000, hell have done well.Shannon Briggs [the American heavyweight who challenged Klitschko] walked away with$25,000 after a 12-round beating. Vitali can punish you slowly and he did just that.

Chisora has had his moment in the heavyweight spotlight. The slap will be rememberedforever. Klitschko marches on, with Haye followed by a political career in Kiev, in his sights

this summer.

Police to question David Haye and Dereck

Chisora after brawl

Kevin Mitchellin Munich guardian.co.uk, Sunday 19 February 2012 17.11 GMT

IfDavid HayeandDereck Chisorathought they could contain their animosity in the space ofan ugly press conference brawl in the early hours of Sunday morning, they were disabused ofthe notion when German police confirmed Chisora had been arrested at Munich airport andthey were still searching for Haye, who was not at his hotel.

"Mr Chisora was arrested after police went to the airport where he was at approximately10.30am [German time] this morning," Munich police said. Chisora was later releasedwithout charge after questioning but a police spokesman, Gottfried Schlicht, told theAssociated Press that Chisora could still face charges of causing grievous bodily harm.

The police concern centred not only on the confrontation but on Chisora's threat to shootHaye after a five-minute brawl that provided an ugly postscript to Chisora's commendablelosing effort on points against the WBC heavyweight champion, Vitali Klitschko.

This is how the fight at the fight that shamed British boxingstarted, finished and lingered.The story is far from over.

As an otherwise routine press conference was meandering without noticeable malice, aGerman journalist asked a seemingly innocuous question of Klitschko's promoter, BerndBoente.

In the light of Chisora's pre-fight slapping of Vitali and Haye's poor performance against his

brother, Wladimir, last July, could he be bothered to deal with British boxers in the future?

"With the bad experience we've had with British fighters, we will now look for othercountries," Boente said. "But, [unlike] David Haye, Dereck Chisora really went for it andreally tried."

Boente, who earlier had tried to evict Haye from the venue while the fighter was giving atelevision interview at ringside, saw him at the back of the room, in a skimpy black tee-shirton a freezing night and clearly sweating on his moment to crash the party.

As Don Charles, Chisora's trainer, was lauding his fighter as "Lionheart", Haye joined theconversation. He was ready to come out of retirement and fight Vitali, he said. He'd agreed

terms before Christmas. Klitschko ignored him but the combative Boente did not. He goadedHaye about his infamous little toe, the one that inconvenienced and embarrassed him in hislosing fight against Wladimirand said he would get no fight with Vitali.

"You had an offer," Boente screamed from the podium, "you didn't accept it, now you areout. You are out! Out, out, out! You cannot talk yourself back into the fight, you have nobelts. Chisora showed heart. You showed your toe."

Chisora interjected: "Me and you can now get it on in London, David. How's your toe,David? How's your toe?"

Haye said he was not interested in fighting his fellow-Londoner: "You've now lost threefights in a row," he said.

Chisora stirred and got to his feet. "OK, say that to my face," he said, as he moved away fromhis promoter, Frank Warren, and walked the 10 yards from the podium towards Haye, who

moved back a pace or two to give himself room for what was obviously going to escalate intoa physical confrontation.

There was no turning back for either man once Chisora made that move.

Haye stood his ground, eyes blazing, and slammed a right hook into Chisora's jaw. Chisora,

in a rage, did not go down but was disorientated and then shunted about in the melee as histeam joined the fray. Haye grabbed a camera tripod and swung it around him, accidentallycatching his own trainer, Adam Booth, who staggered away holding a gash to his head, withblood streaming down his face.

Haye then laid into another member of Chisora's team, as witnesses skipped this way and thatto avoid getting caught up in the fight. Chisora, unable to engage Haye one-to-one because ofthe shifting bodies around them, started screaming as the woefully inept security finallyclosed in, "He glassed me! He glassed me! I'll shoot him, I'll shoot him."

There was no visible evidence of a cut on Chisora, but he was beyond consoling or advice.As his team dragged him in one direction, Haye left by another door, yelling behind him,

"That's four in a row now!"As Haye headed into the night, police arrived and took Chisora aside in a corner of the roomto question him about his threats.

The post-fight fight lasted maybe five minutes, long enough for photographers andcameramen to catch glimpses of the ugly scenes. The evidence is there for both men to face,and the British Boxing Board of Control, as well as the World Boxing Council, whosanctioned the title fight, will come down hard on both men.

They will be heavily fined and they risk having their licences suspended.

It is not known yet whether police will take any action against Chisora.

But, if commercial imperatives over-ride good tasteas they often do in professionalboxingthey will fight in the ring some time this summer.

Boente later made it clear he will not give Haye a Klitschko fight until he has gone throughChisora.

The perma-tanned, white-haired German, a promoter to the tips of his shiny shoes and one ofthe toughest in the business, said, "The brawl tonight calls for a box-off between Haye andChisora, and the winner fights one of the Klitschkos. [Haye and Chisora] would make a lot ofmoney in the UK."

Vitali, meanwhile, drew plaudits for condemning the fist fight.

But he did not lose sight of the earning possibilities the controversy would generate and stillwants to fight either of the British brawlers.

"Who knows," he told me, "This would be great. I tell you I have a feeling the door is stillopen."

For all the indignation generated around an impromptu brawl, he is right.

Dereck Chisora - David Haye brawltranscript

British boxers Dereck Chisora and David Hayewere involved in abrawlat the post-fight news conference in Munich afterChisora wasdefeated by Vitali Klitschko.

BBC Sport's Ben Dirs was at the scene, and this is how the drama unfolded...

David Haye with a bottle

Bernd Boente, manager of Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko: With the bad experience we've had withBritish fighters, we will now look for other countries. Contrary to David Haye, Dereck Chisora reallywent for it. He really tried.

David Haye (from rear of the room): You don't want to fight David Haye, no?

Boente: You had an offer. You didn't accept it. Now you are out. You are out. Out, out, out. Youcannot talk yourself back into the fight; you have no belts. Chisora showed heart, contrary to you. Youshowed your toe[referring to Haye's toe injury].

Haye: I accepted your offer in December.

Dereck Chisora: We'll get it on in London - be quiet. David Haye is an embarrassment, Sky Sportsdon't do Box Office any more because of David Haye. He messed it up for all those young fighterscoming through. I'm going to give you two slaps for that. If Haye is a fighter, he should fight me.

Haye: You've lost three fights in a row (actually three of his last four).

Chisora: Let's fight.

Chisora's promoter Frank Warren: I've got a great idea. If Dereck fights David, the winner fightsVitali.

Boente: Sounds like the perfect plan.

Haye: Vitali said he could knock me out, do you think you can knock me out?

Chisora's trainer Don Charles: Be quiet, can security get him out of here?

Haye: Vitali said after his last fight, 'I want to fight David Haye'. Where is he now? He said he wantedto fight me, I agreed the money, I agreed everything in December.

Chisora: How's your toe? How's your toe? How's your toe?

Haye: You've lost your last three fights, youlost to Tyson Fury.You're a loser.

Chisora: Tell that to my face. I'm coming down, tell that to my face.

Chisora leaves his seat and approaches Haye at the back of the room, where a melee ensues. Hayeat one point picks up a video camera tripod and swings it.

The two are eventually pulled apart before Chisora returns to the front of the room.

Chisora: (Shouting and indicating towards Haye). He glassed me. I swear to God, David, I am goingto shoot you. I am going to shoot you. I am going to physically shoot David Haye. He glassed me. Heglassed me. He glassed me. I'm not having it. He glassed me.

Haye's trainer Adam Booth approaches Chisora, his head bleeding.

Adam Booth's bloodied face

Chisora: (Referring to Booth's cut) I'm sorry about that. Adam, your fighter glassed me.

Booth: I want to know who glassed me.

Chisora: As you were trying to hold your fighter away, he [Haye] probably glassed you by mistake.

Booth: You hit me with a bottle.

Chisora: David had a bottle in his hand.

Booth: No, no, David didn't hit me with a bottle. I want to know who glassed me. Someone hit mewith a bottle.

The two are separated before Booth addresses Vitali Klitschko.

Booth: Vitali, you are a great fighter but your manager is an embarrassment to the sport.Congratulations for winning.

Chisora: (Addressing Booth) Either we do it in the ring or outside of the ring. Because I want him. IfDavid don't fight me, Adam, I am telling you the God's honest truth, I am going to physically burn him.So you tell him I said that. I am going to find him.

Dereck Chisora facing misconduct charge

by British Boxing Board but have no

control over David HayeThe British Boxing Board are to consider a misconduct

charge for Dereck Chisora, but have announced that they

have no jurisdiction over David Haye as he is no longer

licensed with the governing body, in the wake of the brawl

between the pair in Munich in the early hours of Sunday

morning.

ByGareth A Davies, Boxing Correspondent

A statement read: The British Boxing Board of Control are looking at the behaviour of

British Boxing Board of Control licensed Boxer Dereck Chisora prior, during and after hiscontest for the World Boxing Council Heavyweight Championship against Vitali Klitschkoon Saturday, 18th February 2012 in Munich.

The Stewards will be considering Mr Chisora under Regulation 25 (misconduct) and a

further statement will be issued once the Stewards have decided on what action will be taken.

"With regard to Mr David Haye, Mr. Haye is not a licensed Boxer with the British BoxingBoard of Control and therefore no longer under the jurisdiction of the British Boxing Boardof Control.

Chisora arrived back in England last night after being freed by German police withoutcharge, but officers have yet to speak to Haye after he quickly disappeared following the

unsavoury scenes at the Olympiahalle venue, where Chisora had earlier suffered a pointsdefeat to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

Asked whether a life ban was a possibility for Chisora, British Boxing Board of Controlgeneral secretary Robert Smith told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Of course it is. The board havemany powers - they can fine, they can suspend and they can withdraw a licence.

"There are many powers to them but let's just get there first before we speculate what we'regoing to do."

Smith added: "I'm on my way to the office. I have to speak to the chairman of the boxingfederation and the German police, the authorities, to see what the situation is with regard to

them over there, and then obviously take the appropriate action."I will have to gather all the information from those authorities and put them before the mainboard of control. It certainly will entail a hearing, a disciplinary calling - certainly for MrChisora because he is a licensed boxer. David Haye is a retired boxer - he's no longer alicence-holder with us."

Chisora also courted controversy with his pre-fight antics, slapping his 40 year-old opponentat the weigh-in and then spitting water into brother Wladimir's face in the ring.

Former WBO cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson believes Chisora should be banned."He needs to be controlled," Nelson told Sky Sports News.

"He needs to know that if this is what he's going to do, if this is how he's going to act, there'sgoing to be consequences - not a fine... ban him, suspend him, do something. Try to take hislicence off him. He needs be controlled. Obviously there is no control because still things likethis happen."

Nelson was surprised nobody stepped in to stop Chisora confronting Haye. He added: "Theone thing I don't understand is, Dereck Chisora was sat there on stage, he had his microphoneand was going through his press conference. Yes, David Haye may have been heckling fromthe back, but why didn't anybody stop Dereck Chisora from getting up, taking his coat off,walking down and confronting David Haye with a couple of his entourage? He walkedaround the promoters, he walked around security. What would you expect if confronted withsomething like that? It's mindless."

Dereck Chisora Banned by The World Boxing Council

Jose Sulaiman, Mexico, president of The World Boxing Council has followed strictly all theactions related to the misconduct of Derek Chisora, that is considered one of the worstbehaviors ever by a professional boxer , and we stand strongly with the BBB of C and the

BDB to resolve this case immediately. The WBC is absolutely condemning behaviors that arenot to be accepted in boxing under any circumstances and will act as soon as it can proceed toimpose the fines and sanctions as we consider necessary.

The WBC is imposing a serious fine to be finally determined after the hearing to be heldunder the supervision of our counsel representative attorney Stephen Beverly , the WBC willalso take off from the WBC rankings, the name of Derek Chisora and declare an indefinitesuspension against fighting again for a WBC title, while demanding Chisora to take an angermanagement medical treatment after which his suspension will be reconsidered.

Boxing has won through the years an outstanding position in the world of sports and is liked

by a President as well as by a shoe shine boy; the WBC has devoted at least 35 years forsafety and boxing is today a sport that had only one fatal accident in minor boxing, that hasoverturned the past; boxers are gentlemen and show to the world an example of honor andfair play when after a tremendous battle, they go to the center of the ring to pay respect toeach other.

Derek Chisora is not going to tarnish the sport for those born in the humblest beds, whobecome sports heroes of the world to live a life of dignity and pride. Chisora, however, as ahuman being that he is, is going to be strongly invited to enter an anger managementrehabilitating program that hopefully will act in his benefit.

Dereck Chisora will get WBC hearingdespite indefinite ban

The World Boxing Council says British boxer Dereck Chisora willreceive a proper hearing despite already being given an indefinite banand heavy fine.

Chisora was banned for his behaviour before and after his heavyweight title bout with Vitali Klitschkoin Munich.

But WBC president Jose Sulaiman said: "He is a human being so we're not going to put him in thetrash."

Bernd Boente, the manager of the Klitschko brothers, said Chisora "needs help" to control his temper.

Chisora slapped Klitschko at the weigh-in, spat water at his brother Wladimir in the ring before thefight andbrawled with British rival David Haye at the post-fight news conference.

Chisora's promoter Frank Warren questioned how a punishment could be issued without an officialprocess.

Sulamainc responded on Wednesday, saying: "He must pay for the mistake but also we have to givehim another opportunity.

"We're going to have a hearing. It will take place as soon as possible," he told Sky Sports. "We'reasking our representative to go ahead and do the hearing immediately."

But Boente agreed with the decision to ban Chisora.

"I think it's the right step because somewhere and somehow you have to stop people like Chisora," hetold the BBC.

"It's the right way to go. Someone has to help him."

Chisora's eventful fortnight

17 Feb 2012 - Slaps Vitali Klitschko at the weigh in

18 Feb - Spits at Wladimir Klitschko

- Goes the distance with Vitali before losing on points

- Becomes embroiled in a brawl with David Haye at the post-fight press conference 19 Feb - Released without charge by German police

28 Feb - Given an indefinite ban by the World Boxing Council

"He beat his former girlfriend,he slapped Vitali, he spat at Wladimir and was completely out of hismind in the locker room while bandaging," he added on BBC World Service, "so the guy I really thinkneeds help."

Chisora's behaviourin Munich was described by the WBC as"one of the worst-ever by aprofessional".

It also demanded that the 28-year-old should seek anger management treatment before it considerswhether to lift its suspension.

In the statement, it said: "Dereck Chisora is not going to tarnish the sport for those born in thehumblest beds, who become sports heroes of the world to live a life of dignity and pride."

David Haye's part in the brawl has also been questioned but Boente believes that the incident wasjust the "final straw".

"Don't forget what he did before," said Boente. "He spat into Wladimir's faceand slapped Vitaliwhichhad nothing to do with the brawl at the press conference. That was all before then.

"Everybody knows exactly what happened. He did it in front of the cameras and then the BritishBoxing Board of Control have to make a decision. I am pretty sure he will get a fair hearing.

Despite the events Boente is refusing to rule out the possibility of a rematch with one of the Klitschkobrothers, although concedes that it is unlikely to be Vitali.

"I am pretty sure Chisora will be banned for at least a year and I am not sure Vitali will still be fightingby then.

"But a fight against Vladimir in a year or two is possible but, first of all, I think Chisora needs some

help."

No winners on a night that Dereck Chisora

and David Haye shamed boxing

Boxers are taught to be disciplined, but Dereck Chisora and David Haye's brawl suggeststhey should not be a part of the sport

One thing is certain about thebrawl in Munich between David Haye and Dereck Chisora: itwas on the level. This was no hype for a fight between the two British heavyweights downthe road (although that is now a tantalising possibility). It was the blood running strong in themiddle of the night, when cool heads were needed but none evident.

Only the winnerof the sanctioned fight, Vitali Klitschko, emerged with any credit. He wasappalled from a distance as the man he had just beaten to retain his WBC heavyweight titlewent at it bare-fisted with the man who wants to fight him next. As an eliminator, it was

pretty poor.Haye gate-crashed the press conference and Chisora responded like a street thug. Haye wontheir little tiff with the best punch of the night (a crisp right to the jaw, in case you werewondering) before they were separated, but both were losers.

So was Bernd Boente, Klitschko's provocative promoter, who must have realised what he wasdoing when he goaded Haye by saying he would not get a fight with Vitali, that he had blownit, that there would be no more offers. Just because he wore a suit and did not throw a punch,doesn't mean Boente wasn't part of the brawl too.

The BritishBoxingBoard of Control general secretary, Robert Smith, was rightly measured,on legal advice, in his response on Sunday morningbut the board has no choice but to fine

them heavily and suspend them for a good period of time, at least six months, possiblylonger. Actually, Haye doesn't have a licence at the moment, having retired on his 31stbirthday last year, but he wants to fight again, as he made clear at the press conference.

I was on hand for three previous such brawls: Mark Kaylor v Errol Christie in London in1985, Herbie Hide's quick tiff in a London street with Michael Bentt nine years later, andMike Tyson v Lennox Lewis in New York in 2002.

This was on a par with the last of these, with the added ugliness of Chisora threatening toshoot Haye,a surreal footnote to a surreal week.

Reports that suggest German police were not taking any further action after questioning bothfighters will come as a relief to them, but they remain condemned for their stupidity.

Why do fighters do this? They exist in an emotional business, putting their lives on the line inthe ring and wrestling with all sorts of pressures outside of it, most of those involving money.Because it is more than a sport, it is an industry. There are many millions of pounds involvedat the top level, for the fighters, managers and promoters, sanctioning bodies and televisionstations.

And it is money that drives boxing's bottom-line morals. Those whose job it is will find away to get Haye and Chisora in a ring now, because they know it is what the public wants tosee. If they could have sold tickets to last night's little shindig, they would have cleaned up.

Haye and Chisora disgraced themselves and their sport, and more specifically British boxing.

Yet the hand-wringing will last a few days and the furore will die soon enough.

It is not specifically the fault of the sport, whose administrators strive as well as they can tocontain the volatility of physical conflict between wired up boxers in peak condition. Theresponsibility lies ultimately with the fighters. They are taught all their sporting lives, sincethey were small boys, to be disciplined in the ring. There will always be some of them whocannot carry that simple philosophy into their own livesand they should lose their right to

be called boxers.

'They let us down like yobs abroad':

Disgraceful Chisora and Haye condemned

ByRiath Al-samarraiThe world of boxing rounded on Dereck Chisora and David Haye for their shameful display.

Even Chisoras promoter Frank Warren was quick to condemn the fighters, calling the brawlstupid and unacceptable.

Warren, who admitted he did not see the incident clearly until he was shown the videoevidence by German police at 3am on Sunday, said he expected the British Boxing Board ofControl (BBBC) to take prompt action.

Brawl: David Haye hits Dereck Chisora (hidden, gray shirt) in shameful scenes

He told Radio 5 Live: They (BBBC) will have their own investigation. It is something we

could certainly do without in boxing. It was just awful and I am sure the board will take

appropriate action.If Dereck Chisora is found guilty of misconduct then they have a process to deal with it.

Later, he told Sky Sports: Not that Im condoning or trying to stick up for him (Chisora) what happened was outrageous and wrong, but he certainly did not throw the first punch.

Got something to say? Chisora takes the fight to Haye after his defeat

It was an embarrassment to British boxing. He gave Vitali Klitschko the hardest fight since

Lennox Lewis. Its just ridiculous that a guy can get in the ring and do so well and yet outsidethe ring he gets himself involved in some really horrible situations.

Asked what he thought of suggestions that the brawl was a publicity stunt, Warren replied: I

would say they were total idiots.Im sure if you think somebody wants to pull a stunt like that and wind up getting hit with a

bottle and wind up in a police station while the other guy cant be found . . . youve just got to

be a complete moron to come up with a suggestion like t hat.

Sort it out: Frank Warren, Chisora's promoter condemned his fighter

Wladimir Klitschko, the younger brother of Vitali and the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweightchampion, had water spat at him by Chisora in the ring just before Saturdays fight started.

He said: It is the sport of boxing and we do not need theatre like that. It is all about the ring

and the fighting in the ringnot outside.I am really surprised. This behaviour is really not acceptable. Outside of the ring it has to bepunished and (they must) pay the penalty.

The spitting of water in the ring is not right, we have to respect each other.

British heavyweight Audley Harrison, in the process of making another comeback, waded inon Twitter and said: Frank Warren is a great promoter, but I wish he stopped Derek leaving

the podium to confront Haye ... selling a fight is one thing, but when pride is on the line andtempers are raised, you cannot let two fighters confront each other; its going to kick off. Ithappened with Lennox & Hasim, me & Danny Williams, me & Herbie Hide, and a whole

host of other fighters.It was not pretty and it never is ... I suspect the board will punish both fighters, but in theend, the best way to settle the animosity is in the ring.

Frank Maloney, former manager to former heavyweight world champion Lennox Lewis, saidhe was ashamed to be involved in boxing right now.

Too far: Haye picks up a camera tripod as the violence escalates in Munich

Maloney added: What happened, and how it was allowed to happen, was an absolute

disgrace. I gather David Haye was working for a television station, so he was entitled to bethere, but I see him as being largely to blame for this. It wasnt his moment, so why did heget involved, shouting stuff and provoking people?

As for Dereck Chisora, I just wonder why he was allowed to get up from that table. What

were the people who represent him thinking when he stood up? We are talking about a streetboy.

The problem with both these guys, and a lot like them, is that they think they are MikeTyson. They want to speak like him, act like him. Its a shame they cant actually fight like

him.

Taunt: Haye mocked Chisora after he lost for the third time in his career

Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko looked shocked. As a patriotic person, I am embarrassed.

Chisora and Haye were like two p***** Brits abroad. They were guests in Germany and letour country down.

The British Boxing Board of Control need to make an example of them. Im not sure what

they can do with Haye as he doesnt have a licence as yet, but Chisora should be fined and

banned. It was a disgrace.

He's back: Chisora arrived in London on Sunday night
