    Which strangely enough is what boxing's opponents would say. In reality the object is not to destroy your opponent, nor even to fight them at all outside the ring. It certainly isn't to kick, bite and spit at any time. Maybe it's you who needs to find another sport because it seems you don't understand boxing, the Noble Art, at all.

    you can put a gloss on it which ever way you want, puching somone in the face is very noble indeed, i do accept that boxing is an art form in a way but it is a violent and volatile sport and if things happen in press conferences it should be accepted as part of the sport, not have a load of dogooders crowing about it

    You didn't mention other sports but your saying chisora has been a disgrace, his conduct was un-sportman like but i think he getting vilified now by people who have agendas, boxing should not be held up to the same moral standards of other sports.

    Why exactly? Because it's violent?

    Yes because it is violent, the brutality of the sport it is inevitable sometimes at press conferences things will boil over. Yes i do have consistent morals, It easy to say from the confines of a keyboard oh its disgraceful they shouldn't be doing that, but you ain't the one getting in the ring taking and taking the punches, your already going to be in fight mode at the weigh ins and sometimes it hard for the fighter to control his emotions.
