German police have begun to step up their investigations into the brawl that took place between British Heavyweight boxers Derek Chisora and David Haye on the 18th of February this year. The brawl between the two London residents took place during the post match press conference after Chisora was defeated by Vitali Klitschko in their WBC Championship fight on the night of the 18th and it has been reported that the German police in Munich have taken it upon themselves to solve the case that saw huge property damage.
Chisora was detained and interrogated at that moment before being released by the police but Haye had left the country by the time, leaving them without any testimony from the former champion. But now, it is being reported that the police have begun questioning people that were present at the press conference on that night and have also e-mailed many witnesses as to what happened during that night, who said what to each other and who instigated the fight and so on.
After Chisora put up a spirited display in his loss to Klitschko, David Haye, who was present at the arena in his working capacity as a television expert, barged into the press conference, getting involved in a verbal spat with Bernd Boente, the manager of Vladimir Klitschko. It has been reported that Chisora and Haye had a spat after that and Chisora went on to remove his robe and the two set up an impromptu street fight.
Chisora has claimed that he was hit by Haye, who was holding a bottle in his hand and the brawl that ensued cost huge damage in property. The British Boxing Board of Control has banned Chisora indefinitely and since David Haye is retired, he will be unaffected unless he applies for a new license.
