WBC suspends Chisora indefinitely

THE WBC suspended British boxer Dereck Chisora indefinitely following his brawl with former WBA champion David Haye after a title fight against Vitali Klitschko in Germany.

The WBC harshly criticized Chisora's conduct before and after the February 18 fight, saying it "is considered one of the worst behaviors ever by a professional boxer."

Chisora slapped Klitschko in the face during the weigh-in for the WBC heavyweight bout, then spat water on his brother Wladimir's face. After he lost a unanimous decision, he responded to Haye's taunts during his news conference by starting a brawl.
