David Haye's trainer Adam Booth says that the former WBA champion has "nothing to run away from" following his brawl with Dereck Chisora in Germany.

David Haye's trainer Adam Booth has claimed that the former British WBA champion has not been contacted by German authorities following a brawl with fellow countryman Dereck Chisora.

The duo got into a scrap in a press conference following Chisora's defeat to Vitali Klitschko on Saturday.

Police in Munich confirmed that they were looking for Haye after they detained Chisora and later released the boxer without charge.

"We have not been contacted or called by the German police," Booth told The Telegraph. "Of course we would answer any questions, and would go to Germany to be interviewed. We have nothing to run away from.

"We left the press conference, and it would have been stupid to go back to the same hotel as Chisora and his mob. He had said he was going to assault David, and then screamed he was going to shoot him and burn him. We decided to go to the airport and get an early flight home.

"What David did was a defensive reflex. The man said he was going to slap him, walked 20 yards towards him, took his jacket off, went straight into a headbutt and shoved his fist into David's chin. Everything was a defensive reflex from David."

The British Boxing Board of Control have confirmed that Chisora could be hit with a life ban, while Haye is not expected to face any action due to his decision to officially retire in October.
