Why would he. Haye's stock is much higher pretty much everywhere than Chisora's. If Haye is allowed to fight again he won't go anywhere near Chisora unless it's the only possible way to get to Vitali.
Reading that he is basically saying he did nothing but hold his ground and retaliate to Chisora's actions? Cobblers. He wanted a tear up as much as anyone. He wouldnt have been swinging bloody camera tripods about if he wanted to calm the situation!
Someone as bright as Haye must have known how barmy Chisora is. He's not blameless in this. Chisora's a fruit-loop though, he only confronted Haye because he thought he'd get away with it. He's a coward. Slaps Vitali knowing security will separate them, spits water in Wlad's face knowing the same, and tries it on Haye but is shocked that he responds. And he didn't glass him.
Haye's not silly either, he knows Chisora is a ready made scapegoat and the media will play to his tune
Has buncey revealed what the 'big and bad' tale is? He seemed to be hinting at something to bellew on twitter, as if there was a horrible bit of news to come out?
That's what got me. Chisora is 'streetwise' but he gives off all the vibe of wanting to start something with Haye, talking about he's ganna slap him and stepping to him. But at the same time goes at him like he only wants some 'banter' with the microphone in hand and not guarding his grill. I'll say this though. Punching him would not have been a problem. Once the bottles and tripods started flying around it become something different and went into a different realm in Dereck's mind. That's why he was talking the way he was.
I've read a few of your posts where you are playing the incident down and questioning what all the fuss is about. The reason there is so much fuss is because boxing fans can't remember a press conference incident that got so out of hand with a fighter ending up using weapons. There isn't a lot of precedent for what happened.
I have reflected on the incident, as we all have, and I have concluded the bulk of responsibility for this brawl occurring is with Chisora. To me Haye does not deserve to not have his license back as the bulk of his actions were self defense. Who knows what Chisora would have done if Haye hadn't punched him, but we are all fairly certain it wasn't for a cuddle.
Chisora thought he was the godfather and could get away with anything, fatty bum bum thought he would go up to Haye do his 'I am a hard ***** with connections' act and then boast about how made Haye look like a coward. Good on Haye for giving him a quick lesson. Delboy the fat titty face will now think twice before trying the same hard man act again.
I disagree a bit. So now it is ok to punch someone because you think they might do something to you? All Chisora did was pick up a microphone, say some words and take off a robe. None of those are offences. Punching a bloke in the jaw is. Haye EASILY could have shown more restraint if he wanted. If anyone had ANY reason to punch Chisora's lights out it was Wladimir! He was spat on, it was a disgrace. He showed amazing restraint. When you see that then see what Chisora did to Haye, then Haye is more than culpable. The bigger man shows restraint I'd say. Haye was just shown to be a common thug.
Does it show any fighters stiking someone in the face with a weapon? That was all fisticuffs and scuffling. Holmes kick was the worst incident but worse than hitting someone with a bottle and tripod.....I don't think so. Being a Chelsea fan you probably would have difficulty distingushing the legal difference between hand to hand combat and attacking a person with an offensive weapon.
