‘Hayemaker’ rules out British bout
Two-weight world champion David Haye, speaking at an
appearance on ‘That Sunday Night Show’ on UK TV, has ruled out any future fight
with rival Dereck Chisora following the pair’s brawl in Munich last week.
The 31 year-old, who retired from professional boxing last
October, had been linked to a multi-million pound clash against the former
British and Commonwealth champion after the pair went toe-to-toe at the
Klitschko v Chisora post-fight press conference, but has now moved to rule out
the fight.
"I've got no desire to fight Dereck Chisora inside the
ring or outside the ring. He's lost his last
three fights,” stated Haye to host Adrian Chiles.
"If I could rewind time, of course I wouldn't go down
there (to Munich). But you can't rewind time."
Haye also commented on the brawl by saying: "He comes
over to me, in my face, I feel his knuckles in my face, what am I supposed to do?
I've got to close the show.
"Look at all the camera angles. I had no other option.
I could have stood there with my hands by my side and got punched, kicked or
spat at. The guy has said on national television he is going to beat me up and
break my jaw. Why wouldn't I defend myself?
"I can understand how that looks but I was there as
part of the media. It wasn't a beer, either - it was a bottle of lemonade.
"It was a glass bottle but I didn't hit him with that
bottle - I hit him with my fist. If I'd had my mobile phone in my hand, it
would have been a mobile phone. If I'd had a hot dog in my hand, it would have
been (the hot dog).”
The former WBA belt holder then moved on to Chisora, who the
Bermondsey man sees as having serious issues after witnessing him firstly slap
Vitali Klitschko, then spit in former opponent Wladimir’s face before the press
room fracas.
"I'd say probably check yourself into some anger
management clinic. I'm being serious. It's not a joke. He genuinely has
problems with his anger,” added Haye.
28 year-old Chisora has already stated his desire to meet
Vitali in a rematch and was recently spotted ringside as Alexander Povetkin
decisioned Marco Huck in Stuttgart.
‘Del Boy’ had already enhanced his reputation with his
performance inside the ring against the WBC champion and has now inadvertently
made himself even more well-known in world boxing for his ruckus with Haye.
