David Haye has not ruled out the possibility of fighting Vitali Klitschko after beating Dereck Chisora at Upton Park on Saturday evening.
Haye knocked Chisora out in the fifth round after flooring his rival with a left-hook, right-hand combination. Chisora managed to get himself off the canvas only to be felled again by three right hooks and two lefts from Haye.
I’ve sent out a very scary message. I’ll be surprised if Vitali Klitschko wants to fight me after that.

Earlier, Chisora had controversially hit Haye with a punch after the bell had sounded in the third round.

After his victory, Haye said of a bout with WBC world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko: “I’ve sent out a very scary message. I’ll be surprised if Vitali Klitschko wants to fight me after that. He will no doubt try to fight some chump nobody has ever heard of and then retire to be a politician.”
Haye retired after suffering a big points defeat to Wladimir Klitschko last year but returned to the ring after he was involved in an ugly brawl with Chisora at a news conference in Munich five months ago.
However, after the fight on Saturday, the two men embraced and shook hands to seemingly bring an end to their feud.
Next weekend Urijah Faber takes on Renan Barao. Faber is 13/8 to win the bout and Barao 8/15.
