As we discussed earlier, British heavyweights Dereck Chisora and David Haye were involved in a fight at the Klitschko vs Chisora post-fight press conference, resulting in Haye's manager/trainer Adam Booth being bloodied, and Chisora threatening to kill Haye.
Here are a couple of photos floating around Twitter from the brawl. I've got no idea at this point where these originated, so my apologies for not crediting exactly where they came from.
Chisora, who lost his fight to Vitali Klitschko today in Munich, claims that Haye hit him with a bottle. Chris Mannix did say that Haye swung first, after Chisora charged at him following words exchanged between the two.
It's been quite an eventful two days, from yesterday's weigh-in slap to Chisora spitting in Wladimir Klitschko's face to the fight itself and then all the arguing between the Chisora and Klitschko camps after the fight.
It's all more than a little bit out of hand at this point, and the British Boxing Board of Control is going to have to think about delivering some kind of fines or sanctions thanks to all of this. It's just a pure mess, and Chisora is at the center of it every step of the way.

Kind of a godsend for Chisora and Haye
Now they can book a big money fight against each other in London and the winner of that can book a big payday against one of the Klitschkos.

Daily Mail has a couple of pictures, including a pic of Haye throwing what looks like punch.
I hate linking anything to do with that paper but here goes:

Dunno what you'd call "looks like"
his fist is fully extended smashing chisora’s jaw

Maybe he placed it there gently…

That second pic looks quite clearly like a bottle or glass has been smashed
there look to be remains of it still in Haye’s hand, and the big splash tells its own story.
Haye going for weapons (glass/bottle, tripod) has just lowered him even more in my estimation.
Olbas - February 18, 2012
not sure if he punched him
looks like he’s got the top of a bottle in his hand and hit him with that

Exactly

I agree with ODLH on this one… Chisora V Haye, winner fights Seth Mitchell, winner fights a Klitschko

Cory Braiterman - February 18, 2012
Nope, you were right the first time :)
Olbas - February 18, 2012
it was apparently Wladimir standing on a chair laughing his ass off the whole time.
Scott Christ - February 19, 2012
If that is Haye hitting him with a bottle, he could well be in serious trouble.
Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
Phill - February 19, 2012
Was it really a glass bottle though?
If it was beer, probably, but i would imagine it was more likely water in a plastic bottle, and the picture probably shows water flying, not glass.
Not sure though?
