====Haye vs. Chisora====
{{Main|David Haye vs. Derek Chisora}}Haye attended the 2012 WBC heavyweight title fight in which Vitali Klitschko defeated Derek Chisora. Following the fight, Haye began heckling the post-fight press conference, leading to a violent brawl with Chisora and his entourage. Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente said "with the bad experience we've had with British fighters we will now look for other countries". He then told Haye from the dais "You had an offer, you didn't accept it, now you are out. You are out. You cannot talk yourself back into the fight, you have no belts." Chisora then called out Haye, but Haye dismissed Chisora as "a loser". 
Chisora taunted Haye by asking him "How's your toe David? How's your toe?".<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/comment/blogs/303215/Full-transcript-of-the-Dereck-Chisora-and-David-Haye-brawl Full transcript of the Dereck Chisora and David Haye brawl]</ref> Chisora challenged Haye to tell him that to his face and approached Haye sparking a melee with Haye throwing the first punch with what appeared to be a glass bottle in his hand, as the brawl progressed Haye was seen swinging a camera tripod. After order was restored, a furious Chisora stated multiple times that he would "shoot" Haye and claimed Haye "glassed" him. Haye's former manager [[Adam Booth]] emerged from the fracas with a facial wound and Chisora suggested to Booth that Haye hit him with a bottle by mistake while Booth insisted it was one of Chisora's entourage that had hit him with a bottle. During an interview at the Haye vs. Chisora press conference, Booth was asked "how did you end up with a cut on your head?" to which he replied "David hit me with a tripod" but also added "he bought me a new [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class (C217)|S-Class Mercedes]] as an apology".<ref>[http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/chisora-brawls-with-david-haye-108469 Boxing News | Chisora brawls with David Haye] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120221195527/http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/chisora-brawls-with-david-haye-108469 |date=21 February 2012 }}.

On 8 May 2012, Haye and his promotion team announced that he would fight against Chisora at [[Boleyn Ground]], Upton Park, London on 14 July 2012.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/boxing/Haye-to-fight-Chisora-at-West-Ham/articleshow/13053971.cms|title=Haye to fight Chisora at West Ham |access-date=8 May 2012 | work=The Times Of India}}</ref> The announcement caused controversy as neither held a British Boxing Licence, and so had agreed a licence deal with the Luxembourg Boxing Association. Seen as a direct attempt to undermine the British Boxing Board of Control, it meant that fights could take place in Britain even if a boxer was facing disciplinary action.

Haye won the fight with a fifth-round stoppage in front of over 40,000 spectators. Knocked to the floor in the fifth round, receiving a count of eight, Chisora recovered only to be floored again in the same round. Referee Luis Pabon decided Chisora was unable to continue, signalling the end of the contest.<ref>{{cite web|title=Haye triumphant at Boleyn |url=http://www.whufc.com/articles/20120714/haye-triumphant-at-boleyn_2236884_2849688 |publisher=www.whufc.com |date=14 July 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120716074600/http://www.whufc.com/articles/20120714/haye-triumphant-at-boleyn_2236884_2849688 |archive-date=16 July 2012 }}</ref>
