Paddy Power lucky pants appear at Dereck Chisora vs. David Haye weigh-in

Paddy Power’s famous lucky underpants made an unexpected appearance at Upton Park on Thursday afternoon where they were worn by heavyweight boxer Dereck 'Del Boy' Chisora at the weigh-in for his eagerly anticipated grudge match against David Haye on Saturday night.

The tense atmosphere at Thursday's weigh-in was temporarily lightened when the 242lb Zimbabwean muscleman proudly displayed his green Paddy Power lucky underpants while on the scales.

Before Thursday, Paddy’s lucky underpants were last seen at Euro 2012 when Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner choose to display them as part of his goal celebration against Portugal.

A spokesperson for Paddy Power told Crunchsports.com: "The lucky pants were a knock-out success for Nicklas in the Euro’s so we’re hopeful they’ll do the same for Dereck on Saturday."
