Chisora released after brawl

Dereck Chisora was released without charge yesterday after an astonishing press conference brawl with bitter British rival David Haye, who he threatened to shoot.

Chisora, who had been defeated by Vitali Klitschko in Saturday’s WBC heavyweight title clash, was detained by police, along with trainer Don Charles, at Munich airport as he was preparing to board a plane home.

The pair gave statements, but were released yesterday evening and allowed to return to the United Kingdom, although the whereabouts of Haye were still unknown.

Munich police searched Haye’s hotel room yesterday morning, but there was no sign of the former WBA heavyweight champion.

The British Boxing Board of Control has already indicated they will launch an investigation into events leading up to the embarrassing melee in Munich, when Chisora was heard shouting that he wanted to “shoot” and “burn” Haye.

Haye, 31, who was working as a TV pundit in Munich, branded Chisora “a loser”.

Chisora promptly left the head table at the press conference to confront Haye, who he dubbed “an embarrassment”.
