Ivan Redkach had was fined and suspended for biting Danny Garcia last Saturday night at Barclays Center, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
The commission announced Thursday that it “issued the maximum fine [to Redkach] of $10,000 for engaging in dangerous, disorderly and unsportsmanlike conduct.”
Redkach (23-5-1, 18 KOs), 33, a Ukraine native who fights out of Los Angeles, also is supposed to forfeit his entire purse, which would be paid to the commission. However, collecting the purse could prove difficult: A source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN on Thursday that Redkach had already deposited his check for $300,000.
“Mr. Redkach has the right to challenge these penalties if he so chooses with a formal hearing,” commission spokeswoman Mercedes Padilla said.
