Disgraced Japanese boxer Daiki Kameda was banned for a year yesterday after his violent outburst during a world title fight last week.

His father and trainer Shiro also had his licence as a ringside trainer suspended for abusing the referee during his son's unsuccessful bid for the WBC flyweight title.

The 18-year-old Daiki was docked three points after an astonishing meltdown in the final round of last Thursday's fight against champion Daisuke Naito.

Kameda was docked a point for punching Naito as both men wrestled on the canvas and was quickly penalised a further two points for picking up Naito and slamming him down.
