Changing Room Chat: Arreola KO'd by WBC for cursing

Published on Tuesday 3 November 2009 21:50

BATTERED heavyweight Chris Arreola will have plenty of time to nurse his wounds following defeat at the powerful hands of Vitali Klitschko after boxing chiefs banned the fighter for swearing.

The American was in an emotional state after his corner had stopped the 26 September fight after the tenth round. Tears flowed freely as he thanked the crowd and the boxer later relied on some industrial language to express his intent to hit back following the defeat. But the WBC has taken a dim view of a swear word in Arreola's post-fight interview and imposed a ban.
