CURTAINS : Chisora knocked out

• Charity a winner in megafight

The fight took place in pouring rain at Upton Park in east London on Saturday.

The pair were involved in an ugly brawl at a news conference in Munich last February following Chisora's defeat by WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

Haye had flown to Germany in pursuit of a bout with Klitschko after losing to his brother Vladimir last year and subsequently announcing his retirement.

Saturday's fight for the vacant WBO and WBA international heavyweight titles had been sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation. The British Boxing Board of Control would not sanction the fight because neither boxer held a British licence.

Haye had the edge for the first four rounds, landing a ferocious uppercut in the fourth. In the fifth round, he unleashed a devastating left-right combination to win by a knockout.

Haye told Talksport radio he had been surprised by Chisora's durability. "At the back of my mind I knew he was tough, I knew he was durable. I really trained hard," he said.

This is a joke of the year, Chisora told BBC news last week that he will knock Haye on the fifth round, and that was the other way around, these 2 fighters talk 2 much, I fully agree with Charles they wont beat Klitchko brothers, those guys do thier talks on the ring.

Bra, i think they were selling the fight and that has always been encouraged by promoters. Imagine one of the fighters saying he is scared. Who would be interested in watching that fight?

Very true bra, it was intresting to see this arrogant Chisora guy being beatin up in the 5TH round. If you saw, what he did to Haye after his (Chisora) defeat against Klitchko, that was babaric and uncalled for behavior from a fellow black brother, he deserve the TKO that he got on sat.

Haye is simply taking too much like his country man, Amir Khan. Chisora was nothing but a nobody, the hype was simply because he too is from England. He made an excuse about an injury against Vladimir, he just could not break the giant hence he is not after the rematch, now he wants another pay day, with Vitali will stands no chance.
