World Boxing Council (WBC) president Mauricio Sulaiman has expelled boxing star Ryan Garcia after the fighter used racial slurs about black people and made anti-Muslim comments during a spaces stream on Twitter Thursday.

I fear for Ryan wellbeing as he has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”
