Arreola receives ban for swearing

Arreola's defeat by Klitschko was the first of his career

Defeated WBC world heavyweight title contender Chris Arreola has been banned for six months for swearing after his loss to Vitali Klitschko in September.

The 28-year-old, who failed to come out for the 11th round of the WBC title bout, has been suspended for swearing in an emotional post-fight interview.

The ban will be back-dated to the date of the fight, which means the American can box again at the end of March.

The WBC approved the sanction at their annual convention in South Korea.
