WBC SLAPS FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE ON CHISORA

World Boxing Council President Jose Sulaiman is declaring that Dereck Chisora's cheap shot moments after the weigh in for his title fight against Vitali Klitschko has cost him very dear.

Don Jose said that WBC representatives witnessed Chisora headbutt, and slap Vitali Klitschko on the cheek, during the face off. Don Jose has announced that Chisora is fined 50,000 dollars. Half of this will go to a childrens' charity in Germany and the other half for the WBC Cares charity which helps sick children, and regularly visits hospitals where they are being treated.

Following the weigh for the bout in the Olympiahalle Munich, Chisora, who was masked like a bandit with a Union Jack scarf, hit Vitali Klistschko hard on the cheek with an open handed right hand slap. WBC officials said there was also a head butt. The Champion was restrained by his team and didn't retaliate.

Jose Sulaiman talking from his home in Mexico City confirmed that the WBC has acted swiftly and decisively, slapping a substantial fine on Del Boy, who'll have to face the consequences of his bad behaviour. He stressed:

 "This was sheer stupidity and an absolute disgrace. It is not a good example for boxing. Boxing should be a sport of gentlemen. It is most definitely a lack of respect for the sport and completely unacceptable.

"He has failed in what we expect from boxers. He wanted Vitali to loose control and make Vitali mad, but Vitali is a professional and he'll wait for the fight in the ring. I think Vitali will make him pay for this in the ring....definitely! Vitali is going to collect in the ring!

"My message to Dereck Chisora is there's a fine, so he'll feel it!
