The Guardian reported the police saying “Mr. Chisora was arrested after police went to the airport where he was at approximately 10:30 this morning.”

The issues that the German police were concerned about is Chisora’s statements about wanting to shoot Haye that he made during the post fight press conference. The comments were caught on video and Chisora wasn’t shy about being heard. He made the comments in a loud voice and repeated it. In addition, he also said he wanted to burn Haye, although he could have meant that in a different sense such as wanting to get back at him. It’s hard to know for sure.

Haye came to the post fight press conference with what appeared to be the purpose of trying to pressure Vitali into agreeing to fight him. However, Vitali’s manager Bernd Boente cut Haye off, telling him that he had lost his chance and suggesting that he fight Chisora instead. Chisora and his promoter Frank Warren jumped at the chance of a Haye-Chisora fight.

Haye then pointed out that Chisora was unsuitable because he had lost his last three fights, which wasn’t actually true. He had lost three of his last four fights, not three in a row like Haye was saying. Chisora took issue with this, and dared Haye to say it to his face. Chisora walked up on Haye and got smashed in the face with what looked like his fist wrapped around a beer bottle or some kind of bottle. Chisora went down and got back angry and saying that Haye had hit him with glass. Haye briefly fought with Chisora’s trainer before picking up a camera tripod and heaving it at them. It unfortunately hit his own trainer/manager Adam Booth, cutting badly above his left eye. After all of this, Haye disappeared off camera and that’s when Chisora made comments about wanting to shoot him.
