Wladimir Klitschko believes the scuffle between Dereck Chisora and David Haye has damaged the reputation of boxing - and is adament they should be punished.
The British pair clashed at Saturday night's post-fight news conference in Munich after Chisora was beaten by Wladimir's brother Vitali.
"This behaviour kills the hard work of the people that have been polishing the image of the sport," said Klitschko.
"There has to be consequences otherwise boxing is going downhill fast."
Wladimir Klitschko, the IBF, WBO and WBA champion, has history with both men, having beaten Haye last summer and twice pulled out of bouts with Chisora through injury.
"This type of behaviour kills the hard work of former champs," he added. "And it teaches disrespect for the sport and fellow human beings."
