Bitey Redkach Banned And Fined By NYSAC

While Danny Garcia took being bit by Ivan Redkach in-stride last weekend, but the New York State Athletic Commission has decided to take their pound of flesh.

Mr. Redkach’s license as a professional boxer is suspended for a year.
Mr. Redkach’s purse from the bout shall be forfeited and paid to the Commission.
Mr. Redkach has the right to challenge these penalties if he so chooses with a formal hearing.”
