‘Del Boy’ causes stir at heavyweight bout
Former British champion Dereck Chisora surprisingly turned up at David
Price’s fight with Sam Sexton for his old title tonight and almost ended up being
booted out before he got to see the two take to the ring.
The 28 year-old, who fights David Haye on July 14th
in a domestic grudge match, made the trip to Liverpool to take in the much-anticipated contest
at the Aintree Equestrian Centre and a tongue-in-cheek stunt was close to ending his night early.
Frank Warren-promoted ‘Del Boy’ turned up to the Sky Sports televised bout
sporting a BoxNation t-shirt and attempted to enter
the fighters' dressing rooms before security threatened to eject the former world title challenger
from the building. Chisora then talked his way out of it when he put on a jacket and added to the tension of the night as the two fighters prepared to take to the ring.
The incident represents another flashpoint for Chisora, who
famously brawled with Tyson Fury at ringside at the O2 when James DeGale fought
George Groves and more infamously, scrapped with David Haye in Munich last
February.
