Chisora handed indefinite ban and serious fine by WBC after shameful Haye brawl

Dereck Chisora has been banned indefinitely from boxing by the World Boxing Council for his shameful brawl with David Haye.
British boxer Chisora was involved in a violent confrontation with Haye in the press conference after his WBC world heavyweight title defeat by Vitali Klitschko in Munich on February 18.

The WBC said it was ‘one of the worst behaviours ever by a professional’ and demanded Chisora, 28, seeks anger management treatment before considering whether to lift the suspension.
Jose Sulaiman, president of the WBC, said the authority would also look to impose a ‘serious’ fine on the Zimbabwe-born fighter.
‘The WBC absolutely condemns behaviour that is not to be accepted in boxing under any circumstances and will act as soon as it can to impose the fines and sanctions a we consider necessary,' said a statement issued by the organisation.

‘Dereck Chisora is not going to tarnish the sport for those born in the humblest beds, who become sports heroes of the world to live a life of dignity and pride.’
'The WBC will also take off from the WBC rankings the name of Dereck Chisora and declare an indefinite suspension against fighting again for a WBC title, while demanding Chisora to take an anger management medical treatment after which his suspension will be reconsidered.'

Aftermath: Chisora is detained by German police following the embarrassing brawl

In reality the WBC's ban is unlikely to impact on Chisora's existing options. He was unlikely to fight for their title again anyway, and faces a British Boxing Board of Control hearing on March 14 at which he can expect a lengthy ban.

Chisora was arrested then released without charge following the incident with Haye, which started after Chisora confronted his fellow Londoner at the post-fight press conference.

Following the resulting brawl, Chisora shouted threats at his rival, who subsequently left Germany and is wanted for questioning. The WBC statement made no mention of Haye, who is currently unlicensed.
Chisora issued a statement in which he admitted his behaviour was 'inexcusable', but added: 'There were many things that went on behind the scenes that ultimately caused my frustrations to boil over - however, this is of course no excuse.'

The German Boxing Federation have already indicated that neither Chisora nor Haye will be welcome to fight again on German soil - another obstacle to Haye's hopes of getting back in the ring with one of the Klitschkos.
