Seems your theory couldnt have been further from the truth, as the BBBC have suspended Chisora's licence indefinetly.
At the end of the day he had it coming as he has been up before the boxing authorities at least once a year for the last 3 or 4 years for his misdemeanours, including beating up a woman, very noble of a professional heavyweight boxer.
I expect he'll appeal and try to defend the indefensible. |
Well said that man.

possibly...... but when pushed on the question of whether or not Chisora will fight again, the BBBC spokesman wouldn't commit and was very guarded. Having a licence taken away doesn't mean a fighter will not fight again in the same way that it doesnt for a motorist. Time will tell us many things.
I don't mind sticking my neck out and being wrong.......the only thing that worries me is that one day I may be afraid to stick my neck out at all as you don't get anywhere doing that

I entirely agree with your post. My point was that it is highly unlikely that the 'scuffle' between Chisora and Haye was staged solely to sell a future fight between the two. Chisora knew he was in last chance saloon with the authorities for his previous misdemeanours and anymore would likely result in suspension by the BBBoC, by the time any suspension was up Haye would long have retired (properly).
Of course he could get a licence elsewhere and fight tomorrow, although not for any titles as most boxing associations & federations etc like to respect bans and suspensions dished out by the BBBoC or whoever.
I do agree though that it would have taken some extraordinary incident maybe even more extreme than the one we saw to 'sell' such a non event between the two.
Like you I stand by my theory that Haye will only ever step back in the ring for two reasons, titles and money neither of which would be satisfied by a fight with Del Boy, who has lets not forget has lost his last 3 fights including to the very average and very chinny Tyson Fury who couldnt wait to vacate his british & commonwealth title belts and run for the hills at the sight of a mandatory defence v David Price. |

So Haye is fighting Chisora this summer according to latest reports on Sky Sports News.......what a surprise.......stood out a mile at what was a clearly engineered brawl......boxing is just so reality (unreality) TV that it staggers me why people fall for the crap.......but then again we do live in a country where manufactured crap infests our TV channels everywhere you look.
At times I even annoy myself at how right I am all the time

Thats strange Im sure i added a post to this thread a day or 2 ago saying it seems youre right in that a fight between the two may be in the offing.
I dont know what happened to the post.
Anyway I still think that the fight would be a by product of what happened rather than the incident occuring to promote a fight, if that makes sense.
As a massive boxing fan (who was supposed to be in Germany tonight watching George Groves) I have no interest in a fight between these two. But youre right The Dean some mugs will pay good money to watch the complete non event. Lets not forget theyve lost the last 4 fights theyve had between them.
Although neither currently has a licence , it seems it would be sanctioned by a commission from Luxembourg and this could have serious consequences for the BBBoC who overnight would lose any authority IMO. Theres little they could do to punish promoters/fighters on the bill as the BBBoC are just a private company limited by shares as far as i know and would no doubt contravene some EU law if they object to competition from a rival body.
Basically whoever promotes this fight ie Frank Warren would back the BBBoC into a corner, either sanction this fight or we'll sidestep you and go elsewhere. Money usually talks in boxing therefore dont be surprised if the BBBoC sanction the fight in the end. |

100% retracted........I have just remembered that I said that City could not win the title when United had an 8pt lead and had to slip up twice 
Although I did have a private bet with someone that Sheff Wed would get automatic promotion after Dave Jones took over despite being many points behind at the time which sort of balances it out

| I suppose boxing is like a terminal illness. You should be grateful for the next fight, whatever it is, because the one after will be even worse. |

Anyone who buys a ticket for this or pays for the PPV can't be classed as a boxing fan IMO.
These two are scum.

No........but he did attend the school for people doing whatever they need to do to make as much money as possible.
They are meeting on July 14th at Upton Park and a loophole has been exploited because despite neither holding a licence, the fight is being sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation which according to Frank Warren was formed in 1922 and a full seven years before the British equivalent. So if the LBF sanctions the fight then a venue in England is allowed under the current rules as apparantly any member of the European Boxing Union has the right to sanction a bout whether the fighters are licenced or not that can be staged in another country.......am I being sceptical or did Warren know this months ago?????????
It stunk at the time......these guys are many things but they are certainly not skilled actors and some of the actions of Chisora after they were separated smacked of overkill acting to me.
People ought to refuse to watch this on general principle alone.
