Haye, 31, is still being sought by the German police for questioning. Chisora could end up facing charges due to threats he made against Haye in which Chisora discussed the idea of wanting to shoot Haye after their brief fight. Haye will have to surface at some point for the questioning, as he can’t avoid it for long being a public figure.

The fight started with Haye showing up at the press conference and angrily asking Vitali why he wouldn’t fight him now. Chisora, perhaps not liking the idea of being upstaged in his 15 minutes of fame, told Haye to shut up and then asked him to fight him next instead of Vitali. Haye declined that offer by telling Chisora he was an unsuitable opponent because he had suffered too many recent losses Chisora has now lost three out of his last four fights.

Chisora took an attitude with being turned down by Haye and walked up on him. Haye, not wasting any time waiting for Chisora to say or do what he was going to do, went ahead and landed a clean right hand to the head of Chisora and then pulled him to the canvas. While Chisora was down, Haye, now standing over him, landed what appeared to be two elbows to the head. Haye was then pushed back and a brief scuffle broke out between Haye and what appeared to be Chisora’s trainer Don Charles. Haye could be seen landing a hard left hook to the head and then picking up a camera tripod and throwing at Chisora and his team. Haye’s own trainer/manager Adam Booth was hit by the camera tripod accidentally when he got in the line of fire, cutting him badly above his left eye.

After the violence was broken up, Chisora mentioning wanting to shoot and burn Haye while Chisora’s team members attempted to settle him down.
