The boxing world got flipped on its head when two British
boxers decided to bring a little taste of Finchley to Munich. Any achievements
that either Haye or Chisora have earned to date will be always be overshadowed
by their immature displays of aggression.
I personally blame both Klitschko brothers for the Haye v
Chisora bonus undercard fight. When Chisora slapped Vitali in the press conference
Vitali should have made it his duty to ensure that Chisora learned a lasting
lesson about disrespect. If Chisora had had the taste knocked out of his mouth,
he wouldn’t have had the wherewithal to square up to Haye. Fact.
Younger brother Wladimir also failed to adequately address
the issue of disrespect. No opponent should ever be able to design apparel
depicting images of your dismembered brother and not end up literally and
figuratively KO’d.
Both Haye and Chisora took their pre-fight and press
conference shenanigans to a place it didn’t need to go. Not only were they
unable to back it up, there were no consequences to their actions which seemingly
leading them to believing their own hype.
Now the sport of boxing has been brought into disrepute, Chisora’s
been questioned by the police and Haye’s sporting achievements have been somewhat discredited. Not what you expect from professional athletes, eh?
The moral of this story is… the next time you have a job to
do, do it properly.
