Londoner facing lengthy ban at Wednesday's hearing
Dereck Chisora admits he is "really embarrassed" about his behaviour in Munich last month.
The Londoner is set to face a British Boxing Board of Control hearing on Wednesday which could see him incur a significant ban from the ring over incidents both before and after his WBC heavyweight title challenge against Vitali Klitschko on February 18.
Chisora slapped Klitschko at the pre-fight weigh-in, spat water in his brother Wladimir's face during the introductions and then brawled with British rival David Haye at the press conference afterwards.
Chisora - who was arrested, questioned and then released by German police the following day - quickly apologised, but could be handed a hefty ban when Board officials convene in Cardiff this week.
He told the
Independent on Sunday: "All I want is to give my side of things and be treated fairly. But whatever punishment they inflict, I'll take it on the chin.
"Maybe they've already made up their minds. Maybe they want to make an example of me. Everything's in God's hands. If they ban me, I'm not going to be sulking around the house. I'll still be training because I'm a fighter and I love fighting.
"I just hope they realise how sorry I am and that all I really want is for me to be allowed to get back in the ring again and do what I do best, and fight. Because I know one day I will be the world heavyweight champion and that Britain will be proud of me."
Spontaneous
Chisora - who insists his actions were partly prompted by the Klitschkos' attempts to "wind me up" - added: "When I look back on it all now I am really embarrassed. There was nothing premeditated. It was all spontaneous. Something kicked in. It just happened.
"When I slapped Vitali I immediately regretted it. I was thinking to myself: 'What did I do that for?"'
He also insists his repeated vows to "shoot David Haye" were empty threats.
"I was shouting, 'I am going to shoot you', but I would never do that, I don't have a gun, I've never owned one and never will.
"It was just a stupid remark. Obviously I regret everything I did and said. Looking back, it would have been better had I stayed at home."
