WBC president Jose Sulaiman condemned Chisora for "severely slapping" Klitschko and said the organization would hold a hearing to determine the size of the fine.
"Boxing, even though it is violent, is a sport of gentlemen and fair play," Sulaiman said in a taped message on the organization's website (www.wbcboxing.com).
"The WBC has decided to fine Chisora for not complying with the fair play that is required in all sports."
