Carl Froch says that Dereck Chisora has "no class" and is responsible for putting boxing in a bad light following his scrap with David Haye.

British super middleweight Carl Froch believes that Dereck Chisora is to blame for the shock brawl with David Haye following the British heavyweight's defeat to Vitali Klitschko.

The British duo came to blows in Chisora's post-fight press conference following his defeat to Klitschko on Saturday.

The scrap has caused widespread criticism of both boxers, however Froch believes that former WBA heavyweight champion Haye did what he had to do to get promotion for a fight against Klitschko, which would see him come out of retirement.

"Chisora has no class and is a disgrace to the sport," Froch told BBC Sport. "He should have kept his backside on the seat and ignored David Haye. He has been disgraceful from start to finish.

"This has not put boxing in a good light. I place full blame on Chisora. From start to finish, the way he's conducted himself. Haye was just there to try to get the fight [confirmed] with Klitschko.

"Haye did what he needed to do to get his fight promoted. Some will say he has taken some unorthodox angles to sell fights."

Despite the controversy surrounding the sport, Froch believes that the well-publicised scuffle will not deter fans from watching boxing.

"It's not ideal," Froch added. "But in football we've had the [racial abuse incidents], but it doesn't mean we're going to stop watching football.

"This one post-fight incident is not going ruin boxing, although it's not going to put it in good light."

German police detained Chisora for questioning following the incident and released him without charge but it is understood that the authorities are still looking for Haye.
