Heard a rumour that Haye and Chisora will fight each other soon....

Still laughing ::. That is so, so bad...

 

Be careful with that around here. :nono:

 

How appropriate a title to use for this fight ::

 

So Haye and Chisora bypassed the BBBC and got the fight sanctioned anyway. Pretty sure neither will ever be licensed by the BBBC again after this.

 

Can't imagine a HW fighter breaking through that.

 

Licensed to thrill!(by the boxing comission of Luxemburg)

 

Who cares if you can fight in the UK without them? ointlaugh::notallthere:

How the hell does that work?::

 

Boxing is brilliant. It's like gold rush california.....trampling and slaughter and half buried corpses everywhere.

 

So strange. ::

 

Its very heavy injection-molded rubber, it has holes in it, you place them along the ground and just link up the fences as you go. Its fucking pathetic, British Boxing is plumbing the sewer while the Germans pack in 50,000 in football stadia in glamour events.

They should just call it "Brothers Who Lost To A Brother Get To Fight One Another" or "The Sham In West Ham" or "The Unsound In The Boleyn Ground".

The British Boxing Board of Control have warned all those involved in the heavyweight bout between David Haye and Dereck Chisora will be automatically stripped of their licences.

The Board are determined to come down hard on the show, which has been sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation despite neither Haye nor Chisora currently holding licences to box in Britain.

And their warning means any licence holder - including the promoter, managers, seconds and other fighters on the bill - will be deemed to have broken the terms of their membership.

The Board said in a statement: "The Articles of Association... of the British Boxing Board of Control, to which every member has agreed to be bound, make it perfectly clear that the object of the BBBoC is to control and regulate boxing in the United Kingdom.

"Any member of the BBBoC who participates in any way in a promotion such as that referred to above would thereby evince an intention not to be bound by the Constitution of the BBBoC and would act in a manner wholly incompatible therewith.

"In such circumstances the BBBoC would accept that member's repudiation of the Constitution as terminating his/her membership of the BBBoC and his/her licence."

While the threat will not unduly worry either Haye or Chisora - who in a sense already have nothing to lose - it could have a devastating impact on those working around the fringes of the promotion.

The Board's decision to clamp down hard follows widespread criticism of its decision to strip Chisora of his licence in April following his press conference brawl with Haye in Munich, rather than hit him with a specific ban.

Chisora is appealing against the decision, but as both he and Haye are unlicensed rather than banned, it made it easier for the Luxembourg Boxing Federation to sanction the contest.

While there is nothing in boxing rules that prevents the exploitation of such a loophole, there is a commonly held assumption in the sport that one commission's ruling will be automatically respected by the rest.

In the statement, the BBBoC said its stewards "condemn any attempt by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation (to stage the contest.

"Those behind the proposal are not concerned with the interests of the sport of professional boxing.

"Any member who participates in such a promotion would bring the sport of boxing into disrepute and would wholly undermine the authority of the British Boxing Board of Control, of which he/she is a member, as the regulatory body for professional boxing in the United Kingdom.

"This is nothing more than an attempt to circumvent the decision of the stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control, in respect of Dereck Chisora, for monetary gain.

"Dereck Chisora's proper remedy is by way of appealing to the Independent Stewards of Appeal, which is due to take place on July 2, 2012.

"Participation includes taking any steps directly or indirectly, to arrange, advertise, broadcast, facilitate, officiate or take part in any way in such a promotion."

 

That fucks things up pretty good. Nice job by the BBBC though, commissions should respect eachother's rulings.

 

Booo

 

Shame, not quite as ghetto as a rock then.

 

BTW the licensing thing is hilarious. It's like Texas licensing a fight in Vegas.

 

They should hold it in Dublin. It'd sell out anyway

 

I don't get how they have the authority to sanction a fight in London. That's just strange.

 

It really is, I've never seen anything like it.

 

What the hell has luxembourg and London got in common anyway? So weird how this has taken shape.

 

Apparently, 17,000 tickets have been sold for this already.

 

I remember when a completely shot Danny Williams was fighting under a Latvian licence after losing his British one

 

So I guess everyone is losing their license then.

Wlad labels Haye/Chisora fight, ''a freak show''

http://www1.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/7741327/Klitschko-slams-freak-show-

 

Wlad Chisora is a fight Id like to see

 

It's going to be a fun fight, and honestly both guys are no worse than Top 15 HW's so it's not really much of a freakshow.

 

I think Wlad would beat him worse than Vitali did. Vitali looked old in that fight and seemed to have zero power.

 

It's definitely not going to be a dull fight. It's going to be like Haye/Harrison......but a million times better and with both boxers trading heavy blows.

 

Agreed, I think Wlad would beat Del-Boy pretty handily.

 

I agree, but Wlad would also be more vulnerable since his chin isn't as good as Vitali's and Chisora will actually keep trying to land throughout the fight rather than clam up like most Klitschko opponents.
