Dereck Chisora faces life ban

Chisora faces life ban

The British Boxing Board of Control have confirmed that Dereck Chisora could be banned for life from boxing following his post-fight scuffle with David Haye.

The British heavyweight was released without charge by German police following a brawl with former WBA champion Haye after his points defeat to Vitali Klitschko on Saturday.

"Of course [a life ban is possible for Chisora]," BBBoC general secretary Robert Smith said. "The board have many powers. They can fine, they can suspend and they can withdraw a licence.

"There are many powers to them but let's just get there first before we speculate what we're going to do."

Haye is unlikely to face any action from the BBBoC as he is not a licensed boxer following his retirement in October.
