Jose Haro quits boxing, leaving Filipino fighter Mark Magsayo to look for another foe in his October bout.

Family comes first for Jose Haro. When his wife and children implored him again not to fight Mark Magsayo and quit boxing, Haro finally heeded their call.

Haro, whose wife Selenia is expecting a seventh child in November, knows first hand the hazards of the trade. Just like most boxers, Haro got the itch to lace the gloves once more and beat Genaro Velarde Rodriguez by unanimous decision on February 29, 2019, to raise his record to 15-1-1 with 8 knockouts.It was a go, until the uncertainty hounding boxing due to the COVID-19 pandemic struck again.

Haro knows his decision would displease fight fans eager to see him snap Magsayo's win-run or for him to be knocked down for the first time so he issued a statement.
