In
what was was billed as "Licenced To Thrill" David
Haye pulled off a five round stoppage of Dereck
Chisora in front of 30,000 fans at Upton Park,
England. Haye looked the busier in the opener,
tagging the bigger man on the way in before pulling
away to keep his distance stopping Chisora getting
anything from the exchanges. In the second, Chisora
attempted to take control upping the pace,
repeatedly taking the lead, but failing to land many
punches. A shot after the bell in the fourth looked
ominous for Haye, but the former WBA champ toughed
it out to launch a real fire fight in the fifth,
resulting in Chisora tasting the canvas twice, for
the first time in his professional career. It was an
impressive statement by Haye who is almost certainly
back in the title picture with the display. On asked
about what's next he said "I'll be very surpised if
Vitali Klitschko would take the fight after
tonight." Vitali had been rumoured to fight Chisora
later this year in a rematch. "If he wants to give
the world a great fight, I'm here." added Haye.
