"David Haye and Dereck Chisora are to face each other at Upton Park on 14 July in a fight sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation.
Chisora's manager Frank Warren told the BBC he would officially announce the fight at 1230 BST at a news conference.
The British heavyweights were involved in a brawl following Chisora's defeat by Vitali Klitschko in Munich.
The British Boxing Board of Control will not sanction the fight because neither holds a British licence. " [BBC]
Maybe next time we get a player sent off or an appeal refused we should see if Luxembourg has an authority that can help. |

It's going to be a ratings winner though. The media will big it up and the public will lap it up. Will be the biggest fight in British boxing for a long time which says alot about the state of British boxing.

They should go the whole hog and take the gloves off and hold it in a carpark in Dagenham.
Come to think of it Upton Park is sort of a dodgy car park near Dagenham. |

Loads of hype, money for the fighters and promoter. And, no doubt, the Luxembourg Boxing Commission.
Little, though, to do with boxing. |

Anyone hear the BBC's cretin in residence, Gary Richardson interview Warren on the Today program this morning? It was exactly like listening to Alan Partridge. I was was waiting for Warren to say "You'll get sucked in so far you'll be blown out the other side!" _________________ Serfs ye were and serfs ye shall remain.....until Doomsday.......Richard II, 1381) |
