Defeated WBC world heavyweight title contender Chris Arreola has been banned for six months for swearing after his loss to Vitali Klitschko in September.

The 28-year-old, who failed to come out for the 11th round of the WBC title bout, has been suspended for swearing in an emotional post-fight interview.

The ban will be back-dated to the date of the fight, which means the American can box again at the end of March.

The WBC approved the sanction at their annual convention in South Korea.

wtf? are you serious deng HBO is strict if so. They got shows about hookers and johns but you cant swear, thats harsh dude.

that's really ridiculous.. sad to hear that..

well boxing is in a fierce battle to regain some ground, and that means try and have boxing promoted as a family sport - so from that perspective i support their decision. how difficult is it for a professional athlete to avoid swearing that many times (OK if he only said one word, but he said many).

So let me get this straight.. You get 6 months for cursing, and only a year for trying to kill someone with bricks? WTF???

This isn't right, why should he get banned for this? This is ****ing hbo, not espn! Little kids shouldn't even be watching violent ass sports if they can't handle a little cursing!
