We hear of footballers being suspended for a number of matches, others arrested and charged by the police, and their captaincy taken off them, all for allegedly using abusive words.
So what should happen to thugs such as these, should they be banned from ever boxing again?

Chisora was born in Zimbabwe and came to this country in 1999.
// Chisora, 26, from Finchley, north London, was given a 12-week prison sentence suspended for two years following the attack on 28 May.
The court was told that the fighter had previous convictions for public order offences, assaulting a police officer and possession of an offensive weapon. //

How the heck did he end up representing Britain at boxing?
In answer to the question. Both boxers should be banned from the sport for life.

Mick, why not suspend them for a very lengthy period or in certian circumstances ban them for life? Likewise with footballers actually as well. What is actually happening in the case of Chisora is that he's getting the message from the boxing board that he can take his agression outside the ring, as after his assault on his girlfriend he was allowed to continue to box. We don't need people like this representing either boxing or the UK abroad. The Klistko brothers manage to conduct themselves in a perfectly normal manner so why not Chisora and Haye? Personally I'd like to see the pair of idiots banned for life, they are unsuitable, and frankly not that good either that anyone will ever lament their demise in the history of the sport.
Where's my logic? I think Gromit has answered you perfectly.
The difference between the footballers and these boxers, is the fact that they punched out at each other with bare fists, one spat in the others face, and an official was glassed, all in front of the worlds media.
The footballers episode was some alleged racist offensive words, issue between two players on the field of play, but not actually heard by anyone but the recipients.
Yes as other have said, the boxers certainly deserve banning for life.

It's hardly surprising that this incident took place, rather the sujrprise is that it is less frequent than it is!
Boxing, by definition is done by people who are nopt especially bright. how else would you enter a 'sport' that has as its objective sufficient brain samage to your appononent that you can render him unconcious, or failing that, inflict enough physical injuries that he is uable to contine to defend himself.
Of course they should be banned, but large amounts of money are involved, which, similar to football, means that what is right and proper will take a long second place to what is expedient in terms of revenue.
