    Twitter rumour mill going overboard. Peter McDonagh tweeted the fight is off.

    Reasons being what?

    Surely the board wont call it off because a press conference got out of hand. That would be beyond stupid and a total disregard for the fans who have bought tickets.

    Hopefully, the way both boxers have conducted themselves has been a total disgrace, from the first Gloves are Off. Not one for getting my knickers in a twist over bad behaviour, but it's just been downright embarrassing.

    Would have been a total shanner of a fight anyway. Dullboy Chisora would stink the place out.

    This PPV is so unbelievably desperate and low grade that if Dillian Whyte vs Dereck Chisora is called off it would crumble. Two guys winless in about 7 attempts at anything higher than European level are powering a Sky Sports Pay-Per-View show. Roll on BT Sport next year please.

    Surely the expense of cancelling it would be HUGE.

    Ticket refunds
    Training Camps
    PPV refunds
    Purses
    Licensing Fees
    Travel and Accommodation

    Think Mr Hearn can sort it

    Pretty sure there is small print which says 'subject to change'

    Not to mention there are a lot better fights than this one on the card...

    Don't get me wrong...I'll watch...but Del Boy is over the hill imo...if he could punch i'd be interested but he's not got the power to knock Whyte out...

    Think that's a bit unfair on Whyte mate... 1 loss against someone who is now World Champion...

    I'm sure there'll be something, especially if it's behavioral related.

    But there's got to be compo somewhere, technically Whyte hasn't done anything wrong
