CCTV images have been released of the men that officers wish to speak with as they look to ascertain who was involved in the chaotic scenes at the venue.

Two men required hospital treatment after a man forced his way into the ring which was followed by punches being thrown in the melee as well as a chair.

Both of the injured parties have refused to cooperate with detectives, which has prompted the release of video stills in a bid to establish the full circumstances.
