“[Redkach] bit me,” Garcia said.
“He said ‘Mike Tyson!’ when he bit me. I said, ‘ref, he bit me.’”
Garcia noted that he never before had ever fallen victim to anything like that in a boxing match.
The incident proved to be a callback to a 1997 showdown between Tyson and Evander Holyfield, where the former famously bit the latter during their bout.
With Saturday’s victory Garcia moves to 36-2.
Next up for him will likely be Manny Pacquiao, Keith Thurman or Errol Spencer Jr.
