Klitschko wants duo sanctioned

Wladimir Klitschko has called for action to be taken following Saturday’s night’s “embarrassing and disgraceful” brawl between British heavyweights David Haye and Dereck Chisora.

The two men scrapped at the post-fight press conference following Chisora’s unanimous decision defeat by Klitschko’s brother Vitali, the WBC champion, in Munich.

Haye punched Chisora, traded blows with Chisora’s trainer Don Charles and then tried to hit Charles with a camera tripod.

Chisora, meanwhile, told Haye “I’m going to shoot you” while also involving himself in the scuffle.

Wladimir Klitschko, the IBF, WBO and WBA champion, has history with both men having beaten Haye last summer and twice pulled out of bouts with Chisora citing injury.

And he has reiterated his disgust at Saturday night’s events, which he witnessed first hand.

“I am shocked and deeply embarrassed by the actions of Dereck Chisora and his team over this past week,” the 35-year-old said,

“There has to be consequences for these kinds of actions and must never be tolerated by the boxing organisations, the media, fellow boxers and boxing fans. It must be stopped.”

Meanwhile Chisora has been freed without charge by Munich Police but Haye’s whereabouts remain unknown and he is still wanted for questioning.
