The grudge match between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora for the British heavyweight title has been cast into doubt at the 11th hour by the British Boxing Board of Control.
Delboy launched a table at his opponent in the final press-conference leading to chaotic scenes as both camps brawled.
Sky Sports appear to have removed the fighters' names and images from adverts.
Chisora claimed he reacted after Whyte threatened his life outside the ring ahead of their showdown in Manchester on Saturday.

Concepcion vs. Yafai is for a world title - perhaps the best even fight on the card : new champion primed vs. undefeated world level contender.
Ohhh damn I forgot about kal. We starred back in the ams as teenagers and he hit from angles I didn't even know existed. I've touted him as afuture world champ forever but I haven't seen any of his recent fights.
If the yafai I know turns up, 100% fit, he'll beat Concepcion and look good doing it.
Yeah but he was talking trash about Whyte before the fight and got chased out of the dressing room as he tried to come in. Chisora can be a little soft sometimes, Whyte is not a punk in any situation.
They've had serious beef ever since Whyte stepped into Finchley some years ago before he was even pro.
I'm sure Hearn wants them to get into it, but I doubt he'd want them to roll around on the floor etc. That stuff can cancel a fight and end in suspensions.
Oh yeah, of course I'm watching the fights. There are a few good ones on there. Yafai vs Concepcion is a great fight, Burton vs Buglioni is another really good fight. Chisora vs Whyte obviously, I'm always watching Joshua of course.
On top of that we've got Callum Smith, Scott Quigg and Katie Taylor who I'm quite excited about.
There's also a guy called marcus morrison that I'm really excited about.
So yeah, solid card with a few good fights and some interesting stuff. no barn burners, but a good night of boxing.
But I'm streaming as I always am.
Just noticed you're in KL. I was living in Desa Park City for a while a few months ago. Awesome city.
I was searching for a cool Ritchie avatar but come across the this one with Dio too, just bought tickets for June next year, have you checked out the Rainbow performances from this year with Ronnie Romero ? Just bought Guns n Roses tickets on Monday too literally blown my entire Christmas budget for the kids on rock tickets.
No, I haven't. I'll have to check that out.
Ah, shows... All my musical heroes from different genres have been dying off since last year and I'm kicking myself for not catching more shows when I had the chance. :(
The only evenly matched fight on the card in jeopardy!!
I'll be damned if this fight was off..
well best fight of the night is gone yet the BBBoC wont stop mismatches? bs
anyway im at the fight so i dont care

Isn't their like only one competitive fight the entire card ? It's like a GGG fight and a K2 card, Hearn serves up some shyt and I'm not sold. These are some great boxers on the card but honestly who are they fighting ? I can't get excited for mismatches, certainly not an entire card of them.
I am however looking forward to Smith being mandated to DeGale or Jack I believe he is the one to watch st 168. I have a feeling GGG vs DeGale happens first, if that fight happens Smith is the first man to beat GGG. We'll see anything can happen at this stage though if Jack wins aint gonna be no ppv for GGG or DeGale.
Chisora says he walked out the dressing room ! Dude didnt look scared when throwing water and tables at Whyte. I think their is a lot of cheese being added to some of these stories.
Yea, they've been beefing for years but, tables only get thrown when the cameras are on. It's obviously contrived, even if there is a vein of underlying tension. I don't even mind that stuff, I'm just blown away that people here think it's organic.
Anyway, I actually posted to say :hail: :hail: :hail: at the avi.

I read they'd sparred and didn't get along but does Whyte get along with anybody, the guy is a moron albeit a rich one now. Chisora has grown on me over the years only through the beatings he's sustained you kinda end up feeling sorry for him, he's a tough guy his fights are always ugly though I don't really appreciate that aspect of boxing. In the Pulev fight he landed maybe two punches the whole fight of note in the ninth at one point he looked devoid of any ideas or game plan, just a carcass of his former self.

Chisora said he went to congratulate him for his performance vs AJ, I don't buy it man.
I'm not saying Chisora is earning a percentage or a significant sum, I do however believe Hearn is paying these guys extra to sell the event.
Like you said 'maybe even more now' these guys are carrying this event, the pre sales must have been poor and Hearn is paying these guys extra to drum up interest, the talk of the fight being off today will peak interest online and the papers tomorrow for the ones who ain't even aware who these guys are. It'll definitely do better now.
Are you watching the fights ? I had no interest in this card whatsoever but I'll admit I'm slightly curious now, I do believe Whyte vs Chisora will inevitably suck though, the whole card should be called 'Anti Climax'.

ah mate, the beef has been going on for years. Years! publicly and behind the scenes. These two guys are proper street guys, there's nothing contrived let me tell you. It's for real.
Chisora isn't getting any PPV money, but the show is very dependent on this fight. I'm definitely also not expecting this card to do as well as the others, but it'll still do a fair 300k maybe even more now.

I've never heard of anything of them having any previous beef. As I said before it's all contrived.
Chisora said Joshua earnt 3m and Whyte got a 250k, I was unaware of any of the figures until I watched those two throwing shyt at each other with Nelson sat with them. This PPV looks like it's going to be remarkably lower grossing than the others and Chisora is now being paid tv money to sell the event, he said it himself he doesn't need to sell it, that now appears to have changed. Why go to the lengths of taking fines if you're not attempting to sell the event, it's almost like an admission when he slapped Vitali and set up the Haye fight he was grossing a percentage.
These British Hearn cards are like pantomime.

I believe Joshua is the only one making PPV money on his shows. Everyone else get fixed fees. So I don't think that's necessarily done for publicity at all. These two guys are from the wrong side of london and the feud has been proper ugly for years.
Well as far as we've heard, the Klitschko fight is signed and delivered and will most likely be announced in the post press conference for April 29th at Wembley most likely. That's a good fight. Old champion vs new champion. Makes a lot of sense. Suspect Pulev will face Joshua if Joshua wins, if Klitschko wins I think he'll retire the champion as he should imo.
As far as Joshua vs Molina.. I think it's a 5 round job max for Joshua. If he goes in for the kill in order to send a message to Wilder and Klitschko, it might be 2-3 rounds. All in all, don't expect Molina to touch him. People forget how nervous Wilder was in his first Alabama fight as champion etc. He was super nervous and isn't as clinical as Joshua is anyway.
I think Bellew Haye is a total mismatch - If Haye is his own self. He's bigger, punches harder, and better in every single aspect than Bellew.
However, I understand why the fight is happening, but I can't see it going past 3-4 rounds with Haye a KO winner.
Both will make millions though

It flashed up on my facebook page that Chisora has been fined 25 grand, and that the British title was no longer on the line.
Clicked on the link to the sky sports website though and the story had disappeared.
It's all really contrived. Their is little to add to that.
I recall a presser and Chisora was saying I'm not being paid tv money for this I don't need to sell the fight and Eddie was stood just off of his shoulder maybe looking the other way but it was as though he was saying it in ear shot, I suspect Chisora is being paid more now he's throwing water and tables.
What's your thoughts on the main event, I'm ok with it as long as its Klitschko or Pulev as a mandatory next, it is what it is. Chisora and Whyte are clearly selling this ppv though.
A little off topic but what are your thoughts on Bellew Haye ? Are you looking forward to this one ?
