Dereck Chisora David Haye BrawlHeavyweight boxer Dereck Chisora was released without charge today after an intense post-fight press conference brawl with British boxer David Haye, whom he threatened to shoot.

Chisora, who was beaten by defending champ Vitali Klitschko in last night’s WBC heavyweight title bout, was detained by police, along with his trainer Don Charles, at Munich airport as he was getting ready to get on his flight home.

The pair gave statements but were released and allowed to return to the U.K.

“Munich-based detectives are investigating allegations of grievous bodily harm and threatening behavior by Chisora,” said a spokesman for Munich police.

“They are also investigating Chisora’s trainer and Haye for assault. Both Chisora and his coach were arrested at Munich airport and have given statements, they have also named legal representation.

“After consideration, prosecutors decided to release them…The whereabouts of David Haye are still unknown.”

Police in Munich searched Haye’s hotel room this morning, but there was no sign of him.

The British Boxing Board of Control has indicated that they will begin an investigation into what led up to the fracas in Munich, when Chisora was heard hollering that he wanted to “shoot” and “burn” Haye.

Thomas Puetz, president of Germany’s Professional Boxers Federation, has stated that he doesn’t want to ever see Chisora box in Germany again.

“We are considering a boxing ban for Chisora in Germany,” Puetz said.

“This guy is a public menace. He has no place in a German ring. (Former German heavyweight champion) Max Schmeling would turn in his grave.

“I guess David Haye, as an intelligent man, is trying to promote himself, but with regards to Chisora, I doubt whether he has the mental capacity to practice a contact sport.”
