    I have been told that when the Mitchell fight was held at Upton Park you had a fair bit of trouble.

    A few people I speak to about this fight are expecting the same sort of atmosphere. I know a lot of the London teams are going to have bods going in numbers to this.

    Am I right in thinking this is a North London va South London matchup.

    It will be carnage! Good luck to eveyone going! not for me!

    Probably be the 1st and last Luxembourg licensed fight and fighters! What happens if Haye wins? He retires again cos he aint getting anything from a Klitschko, if Chisroa wins? where's he going? get his license back (maybe) and do what.

    massive joke!

    Sadly, I agree! It could be a costly night for the reputation of boxing. I wonder if FW has seriously considered this prospect? I know it's stupid, but, the behaviour of Chisora and Haye is crucial from the weigh in until the post fight press conference. BBBofC and it's supporters will highlight anything untoward!

    I think the atmosphere will be quite jovial and patriotic what with it being staged between the Jubilee and the Olympics.

    As with most events containing a large percentage of drunken males, there will be some sort of trouble. Normally little skermishes as opposed to full scale riots.

    Similar to arena gigs with artics, kasabian oasis etc, theres always a lairy element.

    If you look for trouble you will find it.

    You're right, the undercard makes sure of that.

    Me too. Bunting surrounding the ring and fans in Union Jack suits. Should be joyous to see.

    I think that this will not be a good environment for children and the feint-of-heart.

    The crowd will be hyped to a frenzy and highly partisan and elements will be intoxicated.

    There will be no shortage of punch-ups breaking out.

    Yeah I reckon most of the Wimbledon final lot will be there in the stands too.

    "Come on, Dave!"

    "Come on, Dereck!"

    I would really hate to be the one having overall responsibility for the security for this one.
