David Haye, Dereck Chisora fight confirmed by Frank Warren

Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye and former British heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora are the talk of the town at this point in time because both fighters are finally set to take on each other in a grudge match, which will take place at the West Ham’s Upton Park ground on July 14.

Haye and Chisora doesn’t have a boxing license as a result to which many thought it is just a rumour but now the news has been confirmed by boxing promoter Frank Warren.

“BoxNation, which is the TV company, in association with Sauerland Promotions, are promoting event. The main event will be Haye v. Chisora or Chisora v. Haye. There are two fights. We are only announcing two fights today, and the other is Povetkin vs. Rahman,” Warren told BoxingScene.com.

He added, “Everything is ready to go. They guys wanted to fight. In normal circumstances you could have made the fight quite easy if they were licensed by the British commission, the British Boxing Board of Control. First of all, David Haye is unlicensed. He gave his license back. And with Dereck Chisora, they withdrew his license. Chisora is not banned from boxing. His license was withdrawn and he could reapply for a license at any time [in any country].”

Haye walked away from the sport last year in October after he was turned down by the Klitschko brothers whereas Chisora lost his license for being involved in a violent brawl with Haye in February. The two pugilist came down to blows at the post-fight press conference to Chisora’s title fight with Vitali Klitschko, which took place in Munich, Germany.

Perhaps this is a reason why many out are calling it as ‘the biggest domestic event in BoxNation history’.

Well, all said and done, let’s see if these two really lock horns as Barry Hearn, leading boxing promoter, is pretty unhappy with all this. Hearn has requested the BBBofC to take actions against Haye and Chisora since he doesn’t want this fight to take place.
