Klitschko vs. Chisora: David Haye and Dereck Chisora Engage in Post-Fight Brawl
You may have thought Dereck Chisora was out of control after he slapped Vitali Klitschko, but his post-fight brawl with David Haye has taken it to an entirely new level.
According to the Guardian, following the 12-round unanimous decision loss to the Ukrainian champion, the young British fighter got into a heated battle with fellow British fighter Haye, who was announcing at the side of the ring:
"After losing a brave 12-round decision to WBC champion Vitali Klitschko in Munich tonight, Chisora mocked the onlooking Haye for his poor performance against Klitschko's brother Wladimir last year – a fight which cost him his title.
"
Things didn't end there, as the heated battle continued in the press conference following the match. From the Guardian piece: "Chisora then confronted Haye during the press conference and the two men grappled around the room with onlookers and entourages getting involved."
The end result of the press conference brawl had Haye's trainer, Adam Booth, with a cut forehead. It wasn't said how Booth cut his forehead, but it likely resulted in him trying to stop the fight between the two boxers.
Following the separation, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated had Chisora quoted to say:
"Chisora: "I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to physically shoot David Haye."

This is clearly not a good situation that the WBC is dealing with, as they already were likely trying to figure out how to deal with Chisora and his slapping incident. Now they have this, which has resulted in Chisora issuing a threat.
This has been by far one of the most interesting fights in a long time, and it seems like the situation is only getting more and more crazy.
Can't forget to mention that before the whole match between Chisora and Klitschko even got started, Chisora spit all over the champion's brother's face. Clearly, something is going on here, and the WBC needs to figure out how to deal with it.
It will remain to be seen if anything more will come of this confrontation, but for now Chisora is looking to be walking on a very thin rope.
