Important Statement From The President Of The Malta Boxing Commission

Whilst the world wide media have been focused on the issues surrounding
the proposed Dereck Chisora versus David Haye in London on July 14th,
elsewhere in the World a not too dissimilar scenario has been unfolding on
the Islands of Malta.

Unlike in the case of Dereck Chisora or David Haye, where no criminal
charges have been instigated, former Commonwealth Champion Scott Dixon,
the subject of the drama unfolding in Malta, has been on bail since 2009
awaiting trial for the alleged importation and distribution of narcotics.

On receiving news that Mr. Dixon has been arrested for breaking his bail
conditions, Alexander Zammit, President of the Malta Boxing Commission,
today issued the following statement:

“The incorrigible former commonwealth boxing champ, Scott Dixon, is back
behind bars. Information supplied to the office of the Malta Boxing
Commission indicates that Dixon was arrested for breaking his bail
conditions.

Unconfirmed sources also informed us that Dixon's bail bond was withdrawn
before he was re-arrested.

Dixon is presently in Malta (where he has resided since 2005) awaiting
trial in connection over the alleged importation and attempted
distribution of around 500 Kilos of cannabis or resin cannabis, since
2009. He was eventually given provisional liberty against a bail bond of
over 30,000 Euros.

Hours before Dixon was arrested early on Saturday morning (19 May, 2012),
he was acting as a corner-man for the organisers of Malta's 'Prize Boxer',
an eight-men unsanctioned boxing tournament based on the 'Prize Fighter'
concept.

Sources at ringside place Dixon at the tournament into the early hours of
Saturday morning (from Friday night), well beyond the parameters
established in his bail conditions by the local courts.

This latest episode in the Dixon saga may have put paid to Dixon's
comeback plans. According to the German based 'World Boxing Union' Scott
Dixon was to take on Baker Barakat (champion) for his WBU
super-middleweight title on the 18th August in Pembroke, Malta.

Sources from within the WBU confirm that this bout is being sanctioned by
the German Boxing Board (BDB).

On the other hand - The BDB are presently condemning very strongly and
labeling as controversial a contest between David Haye and Dereck Chisora
at West Ham on July 14, sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation
(LBF).

Just as Chisora and Haye do not hold a valid license with the BBBofC or
the BDB - neither does Scott Dixon hold a boxing license with the Malta
Boxing Commission (MBC). As a matter of fact he was refused a license by
the MBC until such time as the Maltese authorities either declared him
innocent of the charges against him or such charges are dropped.

Yet the BDB (according to the WBU) saw fit to sanction this Malta show and
one has to assume that if this show were to happen this would also be done
under a German Boxing License as Dixon's license was suspended by the
BBBofC before he took up residence in Malta.

Is this a case of two weights and two measures? - The BDB should never
have sanctioned an event involving Scott Dixon, especially since this is
being held in Malta.

In my opinion the proposed Barakat - Dixon fight is much more condemnable
than the Haye - Chisora fight.

If the Luxembourg Boxing Federation is to be condemned for supplying the
legality for the Haye - Chisora proposed fight, the Germans should also,
at the very least, be equally condemned over the Barakat - Dixon scheduled
fight.

David Haye claims he has been handed the chance to meet Vitali Klitschko for the WBC heavyweight title

David Haye claims he has been handed the chance to meet Vitali Klitschko for the WBC heavyweight title.

Haye, who retired from boxing in November but has always said he would return to the ring to fight Klitschko, will attempt to go one better than rival Dereck Chisora.

Chisora lost to Klitschko on a unanimous points decision in Munich last month - and, at the post-fight press conference, he brawled with Haye. Chisora has subsequently been banned indefinitely by the WBC, while he also faces a British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) hearing.

Haye is yet to be punished, but he could face sanctions if and when he looks to get a licence from the BBBC, which has hinted Haye's application would not be helped by his actions in Munich.

But that was apparently not a concern of Haye's on Saturday when, on the night Wladimir Klitschko defeated Jean-Marc Mormeck, he took to Twitter.

Haye tweeted: "Vitali has just finally agreed to fight me in a live [German television station] RTL interview!!! He told me I will be his next fight!! Let's Get Ready To Rumble!!! :D".

Vitali has called out Haye for what is likely to be one of the Ukrainian's final fights before hanging up his gloves to focus on a political career.

Chisora promoter Frank Warren: Dereck defeating Vitali Klitschko would be the biggest upset‏

Chisora promoter Frank Warren: Dereck defeating Vitali Klitschko would be the biggest upset‏; "I’ve been involved in a lot of good things during my 30 odd years in boxing – Ricky Hatton stopping Kostya Tszyu, Joe Calzaghe schooling Jeff Lacy, Danny Williams smashing up Mike Tyson – but if Chisora can pull this off it’ll be the biggest upset of the lot," said Warren, who also promoted big men such as Herbie Hide (who reclaimed the WBO heavyweight belt when he dropped Tony Tucker thrice in a two round technical knockout) as well as Frank Bruno (a champion of the WBC title when he slayed Oliver McCall)."Herbie had everything in his favour and beat an old man in Tony Tucker and I always fancied Bruno would beat Oliver McCall because, though he had certain limitations, Frank was very fit and I’d seen how McCall had really struggled to cope with Larry Holmes’s jab when Larry was a very old man."Everything is against Dereck," he said, in a situation that contrasts both Hide's and Bruno's. "Unfortunately, we’re on the pauper’s side of the fence in negotiations and, as Vitali is obliging us with a voluntary defence, we’ve had to agree to a lot of things that we’d not have accepted had we been in a mandatory position. But Dereck is adamant that he wants the big fights and we can’t deliver any bigger than this."Chisora (15-2-0, 9ko) has been prophesying an eighth round stoppage in his favour, an outcome Warren believes is a "very big call". Warren also praised both Vitali and Wladimir as they are both "phenomenal" prizefighters and "easily the best of their generation", however, what the British hall of fame promoter desires most, is fair judging, something Chisora did not benefit from when he took the fight to Robert Helenius yet was pilfered at ringside due to controversial scoring."It’s a big ask to expect to receive a decision against [Klitschko] in Germany. I just hope the judges won’t be fazed as they were in Finland. The public aren’t stupid. They know who’s won the fight so why cheat them?"Assessing Chisora's best chances of success, Warren explained that father time could creep up on Vitali on Saturday evening: "Vitali’s knocking on and I suspect he isn’t comfortable with a lot of speed and movement. If Dereck is able to emulate the workrate and desire that he showed against Robert Helenius, and can maintain the confidence to constantly apply pressure, he’ll give Vitali a lot to think about."I’ll certainly be having a good wager on him."♔EL Boxing Empress & MMA Princess♔, See you at the Fights and Thank You for your time.EL Boxing Empress Online @ Twitter http://www.twitter.com/Keishamorrisey ©®™ 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 All photos other than specified by "EL Boxing Empress & MMA Princess" Keisha Morrisey, for ♔Empire Morrisey Photo-Studios♔, KCKMT for Bloodline Boxing Communications Entertainment and ★Starlite★ Boxing's Sweetscience Magnews-Online Publication all rights reserved.

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko vs Dereck Chisora February 18

The fight will air on Epix in the United States, as well as BoxNation in the U.K., and RTL in Germany. Vitali, 40, is a heavy favorite against Chisora, but while many feel the brash Brit mostly talked his way into this fight, he's fought his way here, too.

Vitali Klitschko defends WBC heavyweight championship against Dereck Chisora in Munich, Germany on February, 18

Vitali Klitschko defends WBC heavyweight championship against Dereck Chisora in Munich, Germany on February, 18

Two-time WBC World Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko will defend his title against Dereck Chisora at the Olympiahalle Munich, Germany on February, 18, 2012.

Dereck „Del Boy“ Chisora is 27 years old and is rated in the Top 15 in the WBC world rankings. From 2010 until 2011, Chisora was the Commonwealth and British heavyweight champion. In his last fight, Chisora lost a very controversial split decision against Robert Helenius in his hometown of Helsinki, Finland. Every boxing fan that watched this fight thought that Chisora clearly won and should be the real European champion. Dereck Chisora‘s fight record is 15 wins (9 KOs) with two defeats.

Dereck Chisora: „Wladimir Klitschko did not fight me last year so I am now going to get the world championship belt from his older brother Vitali. I will show Vitali that his time is over and make him retire. After I beat Vitali, if Wladimir wants revenge I will also fight him and take all their heavyweight championship belts back to London!“

Vitali Klitschko is 40 years old with a professional record of 43-2 with 40 KOs. His two defeats came as a result of injuries and he never lost his title in the ring. Klitschko has the highest knock out percentage of any world champion with 93 percent. Vitali Klitschko is the fourth boxer along with Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis to win a heavyweight championship belt for the third time. It will be Klitschko’s 16th World Heavyweight Championship fight in Munich.

Vitali Klitschko: „Chisora has proven in his last fights that he is very strong with his infighting. His strong performance against Helenius showed that he should be the European champion but I won’t be intimidated by his trash talking.”

In Germany, Klitschko vs. Chisora will be shown live and exclusively on Klitschko’s German TV partner RTL.

Tyson Fury Punches Out Heavy Duty ratings‏

TYSON Fury proved on Saturday night that he's not only the new star of World boxing after winning the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles but also a major ratings puller for Channel 5.

Channel 5 executives were left thrilled by 6ft 9' Fury's sensational performance in the victory over Dereck Chisora at Wembley Arena which attracted a peak audience figure of 3m viewers - demonstrating once again the appeal of boxing to the public.

British and Commonwealth champion Fury is now ready to become a global star with not only Channel 5 but American broadcasters eager to screen his future fights.

Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy believes the victory over Chisora is just the start of a great journey for the 22-year-old right to the top of world boxing.

Hennessy said: "The figures for Channel 5 were fantastic and I have to give great credit to Channel 5 because they listened to me and they believed in me when I told them about Tyson, unlike other broadcasters.

"When I promoted the World title fight between Carl Froch and Jean Pascal the figures were roughy 2.9m and that was a World title on ITV with a big build-up.
This is just the start for Tyson, he's a winner in the ring and he's a winner with the public sitting at home wanting to see a proper fighter and a guy who has the charisma to entertain them.

The future is looking very bright for Tyson, we want him to win the Irish title next and then the European title and Channel 5 now have the opportunity to bring those fights to an even bigger audience. Nobody in British boxing is getting this amount of people watching their fights. Towards the end of the fight it recorded the highest veiwing figures and was the most watched program on British television."

Watch all of the action from Wembley Arena on Channel 5 On Demand.
