DISGRACED HEAVYWEIGHT DERECK Chisora has been banned indefinitely from boxing following his brawl with David Haye in Munich.
The British pair fought during a press conference after Chisora’s WBC title defeat to Vitali Klitschko on February 18. Chisora also slapped Klitschko in the build up to the bout and spat water at the face of his younger brother Wladimir.
The World Boxing Council said Chisora must undergo anger management treatment before his suspension is reviewed.
“The WBC is imposing a serious fine to be finally determined after a hearing to be held under the supervision of our counsel representative attorney Stephen Beverly,” the organisation said in a statement.

“The WBC will … declare an indefinite suspension against fighting again for a WBC title while demanding Chisora take an anger management medical treatment after which his suspension will be reconsidered.”
@Phil: I think the management are trying to give the players a full pre season before giving them match time in these games. If you look at the team, only Fitzgerald and Sexton started the Magners League Final at the start of June. I think they will be re introducing the front line players over the course of the warm up games. Remember, there are 5 games in total. So, I would expect us to be playing our full team by the middle or the end of the series.
Phil, the concept of international rugby team management now is that there isn’t a ‘firsts’.
There is a squad who are all ‘firsts’.
Clearly Kidney will use this time to decide who will go and who won’t. If you think he is part of the Munster mafia then fair enough, I just don’t know where you draw your view from.
Even at club level, we work to introduce the ‘squad’ concept right from underage. It eliminates the prima donna attitude of an ‘A team’
Actually, just checked, it doesn’t appear to be on BBC 2 NI, which is the channel we get here, they are showing the Dublin v Tyrone game. I read that it was on BBC in The Sunday Times, they mustn’t have changed it for their Irish readers. So, after all this, I have no idea if it is being televised.

will it be televised?
Correction: half these guys Shouldn’t be on the plane, but the Munster Mafia will have their way
Actually, just checked, it doesn’t appear to be on BBC 2 NI, which is the channel we get here, they are showing the Dublin v Tyrone game. I read that it was on BBC in The Sunday Times, they mustn’t have changed it for their Irish readers. So, after all this, I have no idea if it is being televised.
I can get BBC London as well as BBC NI, thank God although I just checke my virgin listings and the GAA isnt til 7 and BBC2 NI is showing both
It’s on BBC2 for definite, don’t know about RTE’s coverage. There are issues surrounding RTE’s coverage of the whole warm up series.
