Ryan Garcia has been issued a one-year ban from boxing and forced to forfeit the $1.1 prize purse he earned from defeating Devin Haney. The series of punishments come after the 25-year-old tested positive for a banned substance.
On Thursday, Garcia and his legal team agreed to terms with the the New York State Athletic Commission on a suspension of at least one full year. The outspoken boxer will additionally be forced to return the winnings from his dominant victory over Haney, as well as pay a $10,000 state maximum fine.
