WBO/IBO/IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is certainly not in favor of the British grudge fight between David Haye and Dereck Chisora. Klitschko doesn't believe the fight should go forward on July 14th at West Ham's Upton Park, because the British Boxing Board of Control has not licensed either boxer. The event, and their licenses, have been backed by the Luxembourg Boxing Commission.

Their pending fight stems from a February brawl at a Munich press conference, which followed Chisora's fight with Vitali Klitschko. Chisora displayed wild behavior during the entire fight week. He slapped older brother Vitali Klitschko at their official weigh-in. Before the fight with Vitali took place, Chisora entered the ring and spit water in Wladimir's face.

"I saw pictures from the Haye and Chisora press conference, where they shared a metal fence [to separate them]. And I was very surprised that Chisora didn't ​​spit over the fence like a camel at the zoo. This boxer was characterized with abnormal behavior a long time ago. But before the last fight and the weigh-in - there was slaps, spitting, and that's a fight at the world level," Wladimir said.

"What do we teach young people? The worse you act out, the more money and attention you get? There is a reason that Chisora ​​was not issued a license in Germany and the UK. What happened in Luxembourg - is ridiculous. Why is this fight so popular? People love reality shows on television, and this fight is just like a reality show."
