    This stopped being about Haye Vs Chisora as soon as Frank Warren made a move on the BBBofC.

    . . . That's the fight right there.

      this is pointless posturing, they both (EBU & BBBofC) know that they're legally toothless in this matter.

        The only thing putting British boxing into disrepute is the BBofC. They are fucking embarrassing UK boxing with this posturing. How can you be so ashamed that two fighters got into a fight? Fucking ludicrous!

        British boxing fans are the best in the world, but these developments make me more than happy we don't deal with something like the BBofC here.

        Haye-Chisora is THE fight. It's the best all-British fight that can be made at the moment and it's the fight the people want.

          they are just pissed that the fight wasn't sanctioned thru them, hence they are missing out on the money when Frank Warren went "freelancing" , thats the reason. these old grumpy fat, bald headed dudes have nothing else to do.

            Exactly this ^^^

            Who gives a **** what the EBU think? The WBA and WBO have both approved the fight. I'm surprised the EBU and BBBoC want to stand against them.

            Are the EBU just angry because no one of note wants to fight for their belt? Especially after they robbed Chisora.

              It would have been an entertaining fight but I don't care much if it doesn't happen. The heavyweight scene is fine, Huck/Povetkin was a FOTY candidate.

              Are they really? If the EBU suspends the LBF, doesn't that mean the fight can't be sanctioned?

                With all the corruption and BS in boxing, it's pathetic that this is the one of the few issues that commissions are taking action over.

                    Can't the WBA or WBO just sanction them?
