Boxing: Chisora Brawl Fallout
Klitschko vs. Chisora: Dereck Chisora & David Haye Deserve Lifetime Boxing Ban
ByBleachersreort on February 21, 2012 http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images...jpg?1329834265 Scott Heavey/Getty Images Dereck Chisora and David Haye face a lifetime ban following their brawl on Saturday night that came after Chisora lost to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. Both fighters embarrassed themselves and deserve to be banned from boxing for life. According to the Daily Telegraph, the German Boxing Federation wants both British fighters banned from the sport for life. The Daily Telegraph understands that the German Boxing Federation (BDB) is pursuing a lifelong ban for both British fighters and has contacted the British Boxing Board of Control requesting that Chisora’s licence be revoked. Given Chisora's previous issues with the law, there's absolutely no reason to allow him to fight at any level of boxing again. His actions, and those of Haye, have no place in the sport. They allow people to look at boxing in a negative light, which hurts the sport. If boxing allows Chisora and Haye to continue to fight, the sport will look terrible because it will have allowed people who have had troubles with the law escape their mistakes with little consequence. Boxing must look at this situation and determine that these two fighters aren't worth the trouble. Taking the risk that either won't have any more troubles like brawling or anything else with the law isn't worth it for boxing. The BBBC will be handling the situation this week and will ask Chisora for the full story. Quote:
Since he has already retired, Haye should not be given a license if he ever wants to return to the ring. His actions in the brawl with Chisora were not acceptable, and since he's already left the sport as a fighter, there's no reason to let him come back following this incident. Both fighters made fools of themselves in this brawl; the proper consequences must be taken. Chisora and Haye need to be banned for life. |
