Ryan Garcia's downward spiral continues as the World Boxing Council (WBC) expels him from the organization due to a shocking social media outburst. The boxing star's troubles escalated when he used racial slurs and made anti-Muslim comments during a Twitter Spaces stream.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman swiftly condemned Garcia's actions, stating,
“Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Sulaiman said. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan's well-being as he has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”
Garcia attempted to backtrack, claiming he was "trolling" and apologized for any offense caused. However, the damage was done.
"I was trolling... I love everyone sorry if I offended you." - Ryan Garcia (since deleted tweet)
This incident adds to Garcia's recent woes, including a positive drug test and a felony vandalism arrest. Despite his impressive win over Devin Haney in April, Garcia's actions have led to a one-year suspension and now, his expulsion from the WBC.
Garcia's apology on Instagram was met with skepticism, as many felt it was too little, too late. The boxing world has spoken, and Ryan Garcia's future in the sport hangs in the balance.
Garcia's fall from grace serves as a reminder that actions have consequences, and the boxing world will not tolerate hate speech or discrimination. The question on everyone's mind: can Garcia redeem himself, or is his career on the ropes?
