A four-times world champion kickboxer has been banned from SkyCity and charged with trespassing.

Shane "Choppa" Chapman, 33, from West Auckland, told the Herald on Sunday he was arrested recently after being banned from SkyCity last year for kicking a door in a hotel room.

Chapman is a super middleweight kickboxer and boxer. He was the 2002 and 2004 K-1 Oceania Max champion and four times Muay Thai world champion.

Chapman made a return to the Muay Thai ring in March this year after more than two years away and defeated American Alexander Anoushian.

He was arrested on September 28 after he returned to the casino. "I wasn't aware I was not allowed to go there. I thought it was just the hotel I was barred from," he said.

He said his career was in doubt and he didn't know if he would fight again.

"Nobody knows how messed up I am because I can't fight. I can't train. My back is not letting me"

Chapman was due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Friday but failed to appear and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

His trainer Philip Lam said Chapman had been lined up for a fight next month but had to be withdrawn because he could not be contacted.
