Chisora back in Britain

12 April 2012

Dereck Chisora arrived at Heathrow on Sunday night after being released without charge by Munich Police following the brawl with David Haye which followed his WBC world heavyweight title defeat to Vitali Klitschko.

Chisora was freed to return to England after earlier being detained at Munich's police headquarters to answer questions about the altercation with Haye.

He arrived on a flight which landed shortly before 10pm at Heathrow's Terminal 1, on a Lufthansa flight, accompanied by Francis Warren, son of promoter Frank Warren. Chisora passed through the airport without commenting before leaving by car.

The police in Munich remain keen to interview Haye about Saturday night's violent scenes, but the whereabouts of the former WBA heavyweight champion remained a mystery to officers.

Haye could not be found at his hotel on Sunday morning and did not turn up for his scheduled flight. The brawl occurred at a post-fight press conference following Chisora's points defeat to Klitschko.

Haye seemingly threw the first punch in the exchange - with his fist clutching a glass bottle - and was seen trying to hit Chisora's trainer Don Charles with a large camera tripod. Chisora then repeatedly shouted "I am going to shoot you" at Haye while claiming he had been "glassed".

It is understood officers went to Haye's hotel in the early hours and were knocking on doors and questioning guests in a bid to find the former world heavyweight champion.

It is thought Haye could already be back in Britain having possibly headed home in the immediate aftermath of the incident.

"David Haye is not in his hotel, he is not at the airport," police spokesman Gottfried Schlicht told Sky Sports News. "We don't know where he is. We also want to speak to him about what happened last night. We have to hear both sides of the story.

"It's not a charge against David Haye. We have to report everything that happened last night between (Chisora and Haye). Maybe he (Haye) has gone home, yes. Then maybe we would talk to our colleagues in Great Britain."
