With the results now in, the New York Commission’s investigation into Garcia’s case will continue with a decision to be made. While he is certain to have the impressive win stripped from his resume, the Californian could face a lengthy ban from boxing.
Haney has written in to the commission asking for Garcia to be stripped of the win, instead giving him the victory. Haney has already stated he will not step back into the ring with Garcia for a rematch, criticising his opponent.
He said: “I don’t see myself ever getting back in the ring [with him], but I’m a fighter speaking right now about how I feel, we never know what the future holds. As of right now, it wouldn’t be a fight I would entertain. As I said, this guy showed his character, he showed that he would do anything to win, including cheat, that’s just reality.
“Boxing is just a sport at the end of the day. He put my life in jeopardy. So now it’s deeper than boxing with me.”
