Ricky Hatton has been stripped of his licence to box at a British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) hearing but can still work as a promoter in the sport.
Hatton was found guilty of misconduct and also fined £20,000 plus costs after allegations about his use of cocaine.
A BBBC statement said Hatton's "actions and behaviour were detrimental to the interests of boxing" and had "brought the sport into disrepute".
Hatton, 31, is now at a rehabilitation clinic and facing a police inquiry.
The Manchester fighter won world titles at two weights and his last fight was his second round knockout defeat by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009.
Hatton made his professional debut in 1997 and won 45 of his 47 bouts. - bbc
