Chisora banned

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.”
Frank Warren, Chisora’s promoter, criticised the WBC for failing to go through a full disciplinary process.
“What I find strange about this is that there hasn’t been a hearing,” he told Sky Sports News.
“Somebody arbitrarily saying ‘you’re banned’ can’t be any form of natural justice.
“Even the police in Germany let Dereck Chisora go after questioning him.
“A lot of things happened behind the scenes. There were some things which he did which absolutely were wrong and he shouldn’t have done, and I’m not condoning that.
“But at the end of the day you are entitled to a hearing before anybody makes a decision.”
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.
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. — Mailonline
