Following the atrocious episode that led to the disqualification of Rotherham Heavyweight Kash Ali on Saturday in Liverpool, the British Boxing board of control has suspended the fighter indefinitely pending a future hearing, to allow Ali the opportunity to justify his actions.. Ali was losing Saturdays fight, and twice resorted to biting his opponent David Price, first in the second round and later at the conclusion of the bout where he wrestled Price to the canvas and bit the Liverpool mans mid section, leaving noticeable teeth marks.. Kash has already had his purse for the fight (£24,000) his career highest earnings, withheld, and could face a lengthy suspension and the possibility of a further fine.. Ali had never boxed on a high profile stage before and it may be some time until a similar opportunity arises.. Price appeared slightly more forgiving after the event, explaining how Ali was actually in the fight, and really had no need for his extreme actions.. Ali made a brief interview after the fact, where he embarrassingly explained that he has no excuse and really doesn’t know the reasoning behind the biting, offering what appeared as a genuine apology to Price.. The rematch looks unlikely, with David looking ahead to possibly meeting the winner of the upcoming David Allen v Lucas Browne fight.
