Dereck Chisora's fight against David Haye on July 14 at Upton Park has become one of the most talked-about fights on the boxing calendar.
The ugly incident that took place between them after Chisora lost a decision to WBC champion Vitali Klitschko on February 14 in Germany.
At the news conference following the bout, Chisora and Haye got into a heated verbal exchange. They threatened each other, called each other out and, finally, Chisora walked off towards Haye.
British boxing regulators refused to sanction the fight, so promoter Frank Warren got the Luxembourg commission to step in and oversee the fight, which is allowable under European Union trade rules.

In November 2010, Chisora was found guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend after finding text messages from another man on her phone. He narrowly escaped being sent to jail, and was given a 12-week prison sentence suspended for two years. He was also ordered to pay £1,500 in compensation and £500 costs and complete 150 hours community work. The court was told that the fighter also had previous convictions for public order offences, assaulting a police officer and possession of an offensive weapon.[21]

They wound up brawling for all the cameras to see, and Chisora, and Haye's trainer/manager Adam Booth, were hit by bottles resulting in the now-classic Chisora cry: "He glassed me!"
Many were up in arms over the immature and dangerous display. The police became involved, Chisora had his British licence revoked and Haye, who handed in his licence when he retired in October 2011, was unlikely to be given another if he wanted one.
American fight fans will be able to see it live now that premium network Epix, as it has done for many European fights (especially recent significant heavyweight fights), has secured US rights to the bout.
