David Haye & Dereck Chisora to fight at Upton Park
 

David Haye and Dereck Chisora are to face each other in a fight sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation.

Chisora's manager Frank Warren told the BBC the fight would take place on 14 July at Upton Park. He later officially announced it at a news conference.

The British heavyweights were involved in a brawl following Chisora's defeat by Vitali Klitschko in Munich.

The British Boxing Board of Control will not sanction the fight because neither holds a British licence.

Chisora had his licence withdrawn after a number of controversial incidents before and after the Klitschko fight - but he has appealed against the decision.

Among the controversies, the 28-year-old slapped Klitschko at the weigh-in and spat water at the Ukrainian's brother Wladimir before the contest.

Haye relinquished his licence when he retired in October last year, three months after losing his WBA title to Wladimir in Hamburg.

Warren had previously said he would not go ahead with a fight between the two boxers.

However, he said he had changed his mind because Chisora's appeal against his licence withdrawal had been "pushed back to July".

Warren said: "What [Chisora] did was stupid and there should be some sort of punishment.

"But he will be out of action for six months and will lose money. Why should he not make a living?"

Chisora was granted a licence to fight by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation but Warren added that "a number of commissions" had been willing to do so.

Warren said he would not be taking a commission from Chisora for the fight, but would make money as a "shareholder" in the Box Nation subscription channel that will air the fight.

When asked whether holding the event might threaten his own licence as a promoter with the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC), Warren said he hoped the organisation would not hold it against him.

"What I'm doing is legal and lawful," he said.

"I have a managerial contract with Chisora, I have legal obligations to him and I won't have these compromised by the British Boxing Board of Control.

"When they made their decision, they said he was able to apply for a licence in another jurisdiction. That was said at the hearing, and that is what he's done."

Rival boxing promoter Frank Maloney told the BBC the fight "undermines the authority" of the BBBoC.
