Remember February? No us too — but you might recall the crazy scenes in Germany when David Haye turned up at one of Dereck Chisora’s post-fight press conference. It all kicked off.
Come on down, the woman from the Six Nations — Christine Connolly — who had to tell the Stade de France that the game against Ireland was off. Tough crowd.
