Chisora loses licence after Munich fiasco

The British Boxing Board of Control have withdrawn Dereck Chisora’s licence following his behaviour in Munich last month, deeming him “not a fit and proper person” to hold one.

Chisora loses   licence   after Munich fiasco

The Londoner was involved in a number of controversial incidents before and after his WBC heavyweight title challenge against Vitali Klitschko at the Olympiahalle on March 18, slapping his opponent at the weigh-in and spitting water at the Ukrainian’s brother Wladimir just prior to the contest — which he lost on points — before becoming embroiled in a brawl with British rival David Haye at the post-fight press conference.

Chisora, already handed an indefinite ban and fine by the World Boxing Council, was called before the BBBoC in Cardiff yesterday and after a hearing which lasted around four hours, it was confirmed that the 28-year-old’s licence had been withdrawn.
