British boxers fight at Munich press conference.


From various newspapers:

Dereck Chisora believed David Haye glassed him during their disgraceful brawl. Haye, with a glass bottle in his right hand, punched Chisora. Drink spilled on to Chisora's shirt and the end of the bottle appeared to catch his chin. Women screamed as more members of both camps joined the fray involving the two British heavyweight boxers, and huge men lurched around the room, scattering bottles, tables and chairs.
Dereck Chisora's promoter Frank Warren described his client's brawl with David Haye as "ugly, horrible, disgraceful and an embarrassment for British boxing".
"It's brought the sport into a bad light, which is a great shame for all the fighters that do behave, and 99 per cent of them do behave and carry a lot of honour into the sport.
"I would say they were total idiots. 


So this brawl has cast in a bad light the noble art of punching someone in the head until they suffer brain damage. My guess is that it has also significantly increased the amount of money Frank Warren will make from the eventual contest between these ’total idiots’.
