"Mr. Haye admitted that his behaviour amounted to misconduct and brought boxing into disrepute," the British Boxing Board of Control said in a statement.

The buildup to the fight had been marked by intense news conferences and heated trash-talk between the two British fighters. ($1 = 0.7814 pounds) (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Toby Davis)
