DERECK CHISORA has admitted he was gutted by the Boxing Board of Control's decision to ban him indefinitely for his bare-knuckle punch-up with David Haye. But the controversial heavyweight has vowed he will be back in the ring to chase his dream of winning the world heavyweight crown.
Chisora said: "I'm bitterly disappointed my licence to box was taken away by the Board. Right now I am an ex-professional unable to earn a living.
"There is no time limit on how long the Board plan to keep me from fighting but at the same time, I understand I can re-apply for my licence at any time as well.
"My dream has always been to win the world heavyweight title and of course the punishment dished out is a big set back to me achieving those aims.
"But I will be back in the gym even though I do not know when the Board will grant me a new licence to box.
"I am already on record as saying I bitterly regret what happened in Germany. And if anyone wants to hear it again: I'm sorry.
