Danny Garcia vs Ivan Redkach

In the tenth round the 33-year-old Ukrainian suddenly bit the neck of his opponent. Referee Benji Estevez, who served a duel, did not notice Redkach's faul, but the local committee didn't spare the Ukrainian.

Redkach was fined for $10'000 and suspended for one year. Thus, the boxer from Ukraine, who lost to Garcia on points, will return to the ring no earlier than next February.
