Harrison to quit UK

Hide had been invited to sit at ringside by the BBC.

But he got involved in a heated exchange with Harrison after the fight and a woman was pushed over as a stampede broke out in the London venue.

Some specific allegations were made against Herbie Hide, Audley Harrison and Jess Harding - not all proven BBBC spokesman

Harrison had marked his win by taking the ring microphone and asking fans whether his next opponent should be Frank Bruno - who was also present at the bout - or Hide.

Hide was visibly angered by the supporters' chant of "Bruno, Bruno" and reacted.

The security firm employed by Harrison - separate from the event security supplied by Headline - came in for the fiercest criticism.

Video footage showed some of their members, wearing 'A-Force Security' T-shirts, involved in the chair-throwing melee.

BBBC general secretary Simon Block said: "Some specific allegations were made against Herbie Hide, Audley Harrison and Jess Harding - not all proven - but all were found guilty of specific matters."
