Tonight at Upton Park David Haye and Derek Chisora will meet in the ring for the benefit of nobody but themselves, like two unruly schoolchildren fighting in the playground, only instead of being surrounded by kids who don’t know any better they will be surrounded by tens of thousands of yobs who should see this fight for what it is, a total farce.
The way this fight has been thrown together and had to be sanctioned by the boxing board of Luxembourg tells you it isn’t worth wasting you‘re time over, it is being fought by two chauvinistic idiots who are damaging the reputation the sport. (I would say they are also damaging their own reputations but I think they’ve both already hit rock bottom)
However all is not lost as there is another fight taking place tonight that is worth tuning in for, in Vegas Amir Khan will take on Danny Garcia with the WBA and WBC light welterweight titles on the line, this promises to be a real fight and should excite boxing fans who appreciate and respect the sport a lot more than the charade that will be taking place in east London.
If it’s too late and you’ve already bought a ticket for the Haye-Chisora fight then take a deep breath come to your senses and throw your ticket in the bin, because it's where that fight and those fighters belong.
