David Haye & Dereck Chisora could be expelled by WBC
The World Boxing Council (WBC) says it will expel any person or organisation involved with the proposed fight between David Haye and Dereck Chisora.
The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) has already threatened to remove licences from anyone involved, including manager Frank Warren.
"We will not condone such disgraceful behaviour ," said WBC president Jose Sulaiman.
"This boxer has no idea of what good behaviour is."
The WBC is one of boxing's most prominent governing bodies and sanctioned the fight between Chisora and WBC title-holder Vitali Klitschko in Munich in February.
The WBC suspended Chisora indefinitely for his behaviour before and after the contest - the 28-year-old was involved in a brawl with fellow Briton Haye at the post-fight news conference, having slapped Klitschko at the weigh-in and spat water at his brother Wladimir before the bout.
The BBBofC refuses to sanction the fight because neither Haye or Chisora holds a British boxing licence.
Chisora's was withdrawn after his actions in Munich, although he has appealed against the decision, while Haye opted not to renew his licence having announced his retirement in October 2011.
"Anyone who participates will be deemed to have terminated their membership," a BBBofC statement read last week.
Chisora's manager Warren, has challenged the Board's stance, insisting there is nothing illegal about the fight being licensed by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation rather than the BBBofC.
Warren says that no BBBofC rules will be broken because the Luxembourg Boxing Federation is an affiliated member of the European Boxing Union and recognised by its British counterparts.
However, the letter from Sulaiman to the BBBofC added: "We will expel Luxembourg from our organisation if the commission went ahead, as well as any person or institution that has relations with them.
"I am sure the European Boxing Union is on the verge of a strong position against Luxembourg.
"I am also furious with the promoter who is trying to blast the ethics, honesty and seriousness of the sport of boxing."

Yep that's right, "We Be Crooks" are taking the moral high ground! :lol1:
Said it once and I'll say it again......best and most anticipated HW fight in almost 10 years.
This! cant wat for haye vs chisora to step into the ring!
Warren has openly contested the BBBofC's authority to run the sport in Britain so they've pulled a favour from their corrupt little friend in the WBC. This fight outside the ring might get as juicy as the fight in it!
the wbc is retarded anyway lol jesus
this is the best heavyweight fight IN YEARS and they don't want to allow it? ****ing cry babies seriously
I know, who are they kidding? They aren't cancelling this fight for nothing.
Sulaiman is a scumbag, i find it hilarious that he has the guts to talk about disgraceful behavior. This fight will do MEGA numbers....it'll be the best heavyweight fight in years...is this guy a numbskull?
I like this matchup and think this is a great hw fight but I would seriously f*cking lol if it did in fact get canceled because of all b1tching & crying about nothing from these spineless sissy boxing bureaucracies.
I wouldn't worry about it getting cancelled too much.
A few kickback$ from the parties involved and they'll be back in the good graces of the WBC in no time.

What a joke. Boxing always trying to shoot progress in the foot. This is one of the more interesting HW matchups that can be made and boxing insiders want to stop it. Outrageous.
:lol1: :lol1: Oh my life.
The boxing world full of women these days it seems.
SERIOUSLY!!!
As corrupt as Sulaiman is, he really should shut the hell up.
fellas just remember that the WBC are complete, unadulterated LIARS.... so keeping with that theme, this quote actually means the opposite:
winner gets #1 contender spot
