The WBC supports Ryan Garcia

The WBC released the following statement in support of their interim world lightweight champion Ryan Garcia (21-0, 18KOs) as he battles with his mental health issues:

President Mauricio Sulaiman and the WBC offer Ryan Garcia our full support and endorse his decision to attend to his personal issues. We are now, as always in his corner.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unimaginable problems to us all, and he, like the rest of humanity, have been greatly affected.

With Mental Health Awareness Month coming in May, the WBC will work diligently to reinforce its awareness program worldwide.

Ryan’s courageous decision to step aside at this time, has emphasized the fact that no one is exempt from the impact of this global crisis.

We honor Ryan’s choice as a champion of wellness and consider him an inspiration to others who suffer in silence.

When appropriate, The WBC will be ready with full support, for Ryan’s return to the ring.
