Boxing Star Removed from Rankings Amid Concerns for His Wellness
One of the sport's rising talents has hit a setback outside the ring, with questions arising over his condition. The governing body's president voiced worries for the athlete's well-being and family after videos surfaced online.
Ryan Garcia, a fighter known for highlight-reel knockouts, has been removed from the ratings by the World Boxing Council. President Mauricio Sulaiman stated the organization wants “the best” for the 23-year-old and hopes he receives any support needed.
Videos posted to social media last month showed Garcia's behavior left many fans and experts concerned. While details remain private, Sulaiman said supporting one's mental health must come before sporting achievement. This stance was backed by a short comment from the boxer's relatives confirming they want the “best care” for their loved one.
Going forward, Garcia's focus will be on recovering his wellness away from the pressures of the ring. When able to do so safely, a future return to competition could see him climb back toward championship contention. For now, well-wishers simply hope this setback proves only a minor bump in what has been a promising career inside the ropes.
