Poll: Public backs Haye-Chisora clash

Despite opposition from the British and German boxing commissions and other influential people in boxing, a massive 71 per cent of the public say they would pay to watch David Haye’s big heavyweight showdown with Dereck Chisora, a poll held on the Daily Mail online revealed. The bitter rivals meet in the ring on Saturday 14th July at West Ham’s Boleyn Ground at Upton Park in one of boxing’s biggest ever grudge fights. Only 29 per cent didn’t want to watch the fight which has become a hot talking point. Since the pair met last week head-to-head for the first time to announce their fight, tickets have been selling fast with over 20,000 sold already.
