How long for?

How long for?

Just withdrawn means he can reapply in the future.

[Camcas]

Joke decision

[smoggy7188]

Clever decision, sounds harsh for the general publics benefit.

[Mimmy]

according to Talksport cant reapply for 3 years

[smoggy7188]

Cant reapply for a minimum of 6months but the board could keep him out for aslong as they see fit.

He be back in 2013!

[Bennyblanco]

He could still get a license in say germany or the US though right?

[smoggy7188]

In theory yes but cant see them giving him one. He will be making a trip to Latvia if he wants a fight.

[iamasadlittleboy]

...hello Latvia...

[leforge]

Doubt in Germany, could go to USA and have few fights,

[Final round]

He can re-apply when the dust settles.

The suspension is likely to be enforced by all countries that are members of the European Boxing Union, so unless someone offers him a fight outside Europe, Chisora probably won't be lacing'em up anytime soon.

Chisora tweeted this 20 mins ago

Three words M.G.M.... Here I come

Must be some security jobs going

[smoggy7188]

Doesnt his criminal record make it even harder for him to get a license in the us or does it depend on what you did?

[leforge]

He can re-apply when the dust settles.

They should a said a year at most, this way sound weak.

[dan28uk]

probably have a some fights in the us if he can get it in, right descion to take away chisoras license you cant do that sort of stuff and get away with it. still a big fan of his and would love for him to come back from this and win a world title.

I'm not sure it sounds weak, after a life ban that's probably the worst possible outcome for him. He's been declared unfit to hold a license end of. How does he prove he is fit to box in this country again? Stay out of trouble for a while I suppose.

Looking at it another way, they have issued an indefinite ban. If Del wants to regain his licence, the onus is on him to demonstrate to the Board that he is suitably rehabilitated. If not, he is refused.

Any other decision would have attracted criticism for being too harsh or too lenient. To me it seems a reasonable, sensible approach.

[smoggy7188]

Im pretty sure over the next few months we will see pictures of del painting walls with kids in inner london and things like that.

If that's what it takes and it's genuine, then what's the problem?

[smoggy7188]

Robert Smith is saying he will not be able to get his license back for two years.
