Chisora: Trust Me, David Haye is Going Down in Seven!

•Jul 10, 2012

Dereck Chisora hasn’t knocked out any of his last four opponents, but the London-based boxer from Zimbabwe believes that streak will end Saturday. Chisora (15-3, 9 KOs) predicted that he’ll knock out David Haye (25-2, 23 KOs) when these brash British heavyweights meet at West Ham Football Club’s Boleyn Ground at Upton Park in London (EPIX; 4:30 p.m. EDT/1:30 p.m. PDT). “Trust me, he’s getting knocked out,” Chisora said to promote their 12-round grudge match. “He said he’s going to knock me out in round three. He’s going down in round seven. Lucky seven.”

Heavyweight contender Dereck Chisora was forced to hold court on his own when David Haye opted to blow off an international conference call to hype up their July 14 grudge match in West Ham, London. The fight – which airs live on EPIX as well as a live stream on EpixHD.com (Saturday 4:30pm PT/1:30pm PT) - was born from their well-documented blow-up in the post-fight press conference following Chisora’s points loss to Vitali Klitschko earlier this year in Germany. Haye and his team managed to say just enough to get under Chisora’s skin, leading to the aforementioned incident.

BOXING crossed over to the mainstream this week when David Haye v Dereck Chisora was discussed on BBC’s Newsnight. Robert Smith, the general secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control, was in the opposite corner to me in a debate over the Upton Park fight next Saturday. But I was annoyed by some of the misleading comments that Smith made on air. To start with he stated that Chisora was banned from boxing — that is not the case.

They say that Dereck Chisora could give Anadin a headache but few are burdened with passing as much time in the company of Del Boy as Don Charles, the Nigerian born coach who has helped mould Chisora from a raw teenage novice into the world class pugilist he unquestionably is today. As he prepares his ex British and Commonwealth champion for his score settler with David Haye at Upton Park, a week on Saturday, the eloquent 50 year old ex amateur super-heavyweight gave a full and frank interview to boxing writer Glynn Evans which covered his early life, career in boxing and lifted the lid on what makes Chisora tick both inside the ropes and out.

Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-2, 23 KOs) is pulling out all the stops in training camp. During the pre-fight hype for last year's fight with Wladimir Klitschko, Haye wore a shirt with a photo which displayed the British boxer holding the severed heads of the Klitschko brothers. For his fight with domestic rival Dereck Chisora (15-3, 9 KOs), Haye placed his photo on the pads and says that he batters them on a daily basis. The fight takes place on the 14th of July in West Ham.

Haye-Chisora: Beyond The Ropes, Frank Warren's Take

Legend has it that Diogenes of Sinope, a true cynic, was once visited in Corinth by Alexander The Great. Diogenes was basking in the afternoon sun when Alexander approached him to ask if there was anything he could do for him, Diogenes’s reply? “Could you please stand out of my sunlight?” It is a rum tale, probably not true and can be read as a metaphor on a number of levels. Alexander was the center of the world at that time: he represented politics, culture and society. The sunlight, on this reading, was the light of truth. By stepping into the philosopher’s sunlight, Alexander was placing all the worldly things that distract one from the pursuit of the light of truth in front of Diogenes’s rays. There is a boxing analogy lurking in there somewhere. The fights themselves are the rays of sunlight in the main, but the stuff that goes on around them often casts a shadow to the extent that we spend less and less time basking in the sunlight and most of our time wading through the gloom or with a conflicted viewpoint that is obscured by all the power play and politicking.

The Luxembourg Boxing Federation and a number of licence holders have today issued legal proceedings against the British Boxing Board of Control in relation to its behaviour over the Haye v Chisora fight on 14 July 2012. This is not something anyone wanted to do and neither is it a step we took lightly, but we felt we were left with no option.

BBBoC's Smith Expected LBF's Haye-Chisora Legal Move

The fight, due to take place at Upton Park in east London on July 14, has been sanctioned by the Luxembourg federation, with neither Haye nor Chisora currently licensed by the BBBofC. The pair notoriously traded blows in Munich in February, when they clashed at a press conference which followed Chisora's loss to Vitali Klitschko. The fall-out from the clash saw Chisora's licence rescinded by the BBBofC while Haye, who is technically retired, was largely unrepentant. The British board have said they would rescind the existing licences of anybody involved in the promotion of the fight, but their Luxembourg counterparts, together with "a number of licence holders", have now responded to that threat.
