;Looking at this fight, it is amazing how much bad blood can come out of just one incident that took place five months ago. In case you forgot, Chisora and Haye got involved in a brawl at a press conference following Chisora's loss to Vitali Klitschko.
That one incident led to Haye coming out of his short-lived retirement. Despite not having the kind of long, drawn-out build that some of the best matches in boxing history have had, this was one of the most anticipated fights of the year.

Haye wanted to destroy Chisora. Chisora wanted to destroy Haye. Ultimately, Haye was able to prevail to win both championships.
For Haye, this was a great moment. Following his loss to Wladimir Klitschko last July, no one knew what to expect from Haye in this fight. Granted he did not have the longest layoff between fights, but you still wonder how much ring rust he is going to have.
At just 31 years old, Haye is still very much in his prime, so it's not like he had a lot of work to do to find himself.
Chisora, on the other hand, is going to have to figure out where his career is taking him. He has now lost four of his last five fights. At 28, there is time for him to turn things around and climb back up the heavyweight rankings.
