So it is not an isolated incident. A boxing licence should be a privilege and those who abuse it and bring the sport into disrepute by committing violent crimes (repeatedly) should face a suspension. IF they demonstrate that they have turned themselves around then they can get their licence back.

You simply should not be able to jump from being convicted of assaulting a woman to fighting for the world heavyweight title in a few weeks.

What do you think incidents like this do for our chances of getting boxing back on the BBC? People associate boxing with crime and violence and incidents like this only strengthen this view.

The BBC havent stopped showing Newcastle on Match of the day because of Joey Bartons record,have they?And there are loads more far higher profile incidents than Chisora's conviction.Rugby(Union and League),Cricket,Racing and Football have all had high profile scandals recently yet the Beeb still show them.Del boy is more or less unknown and the effect on the sport will be minimal.The powers that be at The BBC just dony like Boxing,thats about it.

He caught his Mrs cheating and gave her a whack on the arse, big deal, it's hardly a serious assault is it. If it was, for a HW boxer, he'd have been banged up straight for certain. Very minor stuff

Did he just grab her arms throw her on a bed and spank her?

I think its a bit more than that. I doubt he would have pleaded guilty to assault for a few slaps on the arse.

The 6ft 4ins fighter slapped the 24-year-old student around the face before hitting her bottom and legs in the May attack in Mayfair after finding a message on her phone in which a man called her "babe"

Apart from the fact he slapped her in the face as well, I guess if it's minor you're implying you would normally do that too would you?

"You used violence on this young lady and then to heap ignominy on her you turned her over and slapped her on the bottom repeatedly."

Take his license away now and save him getting slapped around by WK like one of his ex's!

Wasn't he windin WK up about loving his mrs more than his title? How ironic.
