The New York State Athletic Commission has dropped the hammer on welterweight boxer Ivan Redkach.
In last week’s Showtime Boxing main event, Redkach turned in a particularly pitiful display against former WBC champion Danny Garcia, who thoroughly outclassed him on his way to a unanimous decision win. The only eyebrow-raising moment over the course of 36 minutes was Redkach’s biting of Garcia on his shoulder.
The referee didn’t see this and thus no point deduction or disqualification was issued. Since it’s undeniable that the bite occurred, the NYSAC opted to go extra hard on Redkach for his actions.
