As has become the custom, EPIX will once again present the closed-captioned
simulcast of this world championship rumble on its jumbotron in Times Square
in New York City (Broadway between 44^th and 45^th St.)

Chisora (15-3, 9 KOs), of London, returns to the ring on the heels of his two
most notable fights. Last December, in a fight that was televised live in the
U.S. on EPIX, Chisora, an underdog fighting outside his native United Kingdom
for the first time, out-boxed undefeated No. 1 heavyweight contender Robert
Helenius over 12-rounds in his native Finland only to have the judges return a
narrow split decision victory to Helenius to the outrage of fans and media
alike. Based on that performance, Chisora, the former BBBoC British
heavyweight champion and Commonwealth (British Empire) heavyweight champion
earned a title shot with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko on February
18, also televised live to the U.S. on EPIX. Though he lost a unanimous
decision, it was the first time in nearly two years that Klitschko had been
forced to go the distance. Chisora’s professional resume boasts consecutive
knockout victories of Danny Williams and Sam Sexton, who had a combined record
of 54-9 when he defeated them in 2010.

Haye (25-2, 23 KOs), of London, captured his first world title in 2007,
knocking out defending WBC/WBA cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck in the
seventh round. He added the WBO crown to his war chest in his first defense, a
second-round pasting of Enzo Maccarinelli the following year. He vacated the
titles to move up to the heavyweight division and in only second fight as a
heavyweight dethroned WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev, via majority
decision. He successfully defended the title twice, knocking out former
two-time heavyweight champion John Ruiz and 2000 Olympic gold medalist and
fellow countryman Audley Harrison in the ninth and third rounds, respectively,
both in 2010. Haye lost the crown last July, losing a unanimous decision to
Wladimir Klitschko in a title unification fight. Haye’s fight against Chisora
will be his first since that loss.
