World Boxing Council indefinitely suspends Chisora for his behaviour

London, Feb 29 (ANI): The World Boxing Council has suspended Dereck Chisora for his behaviour before and after his fight with Vitali Klitschko.

British heavyweight Chisora was involved in a brawl with David Haye at the news conference after his defeat in Munich.

Chisora also slapped Klitschko at the weigh-in and spat water in the face of his brother Wladimir before the bout.

The WBC said it was "one of the worst behaviours ever by a professional," The BBC reports.

The body demanded Chisora, 28, seeks anger management treatment before considering whether to lift the suspension.

The Londoner, ranked 14th in the WBC's heavyweight division, will also be taken out of the organisation's rankings.

Chisora is due before a British Boxing Board of Control hearing on 14 March, and his manager Frank Warren told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't understand how someone can be banned without having a hearing. I've never ever heard of anything like that. There's been no hearing."

Chisora threatened to shoot Haye after the clash and was detained by German police the following morning, though he was later released without charge, The BBC reports. (ANI)
