Jake Paul, a former social media star-turned-professional-boxer beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by a unanimous decision in a cruiserweight bout held in California. The 39-year-old Chavez, once a middleweight world champion and the son of Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., looked slow and uninterested throughout most of the fight. He threw very few punches, especially in the early rounds and stayed behind a defensive approach while Paul dominated the action with sharp punches and strong hooks to both the head and body.&nbsp;Paul, 28, earned a unanimous decision with scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93. Despite winning clearly, the crowd at the sold-out Honda Center in Anaheim booed him. Paul responded by telling the audience to shut up and claimed he barely got hit during the fight.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/tennis-emma-raducanu-address-dating-rumours-with-carlos-alcaraz-ahead-of-wimbledon-pairing-1751179415633">Emma Raducanu address dating rumours with Carlos Alcaraz ahead of Wimbledon pairing</a>&nbsp;Meanwhile, this latest win adds to the debate about Paul’s place in boxing. While he now holds 12 professional wins, critics argue that many of his opponents, like much older Mike Tyson or Chavez Jr., didn’t reflect the level of competition expected at the top of the sport.&nbsp;&nbsp;Chavez has struggled with consistency and motivation in recent years and previously lost to former UFC fighter Anderson Silva.&nbsp;<h3>Paul calls for THESE names</h3>&nbsp;Many believe that Paul has improved his boxing skills by improving his speed, accuracy and stamina.

And It’s been a tough couple of months as everyone can tell but I AM SORRY 
 
I struggle with substance abuse and it hard for me with everything going on 
 
I actually love black people no cap…

Garcia's promoter Oscar De La Hoya condemned his client's behaviour and words in a strongly worded post on X.

"There is no room for hate or intolerance at my company. Period. I condemn Ryan's words in the strongest terms possible," De La Hoya wrote&nbsp;on Friday (Jul 5).&nbsp;

"I see that he has apologized, and that is a start - but it is only a start to earn back the trust and respect of those of us who have and continue to support him. We hope Ryan will use the time he has away from the sport to work through the issues he has publicly discussed. We stand ready to help in whatever we can," La Hoya added.

In response to the incident, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman announced the boxing body's decision to expel the boxer.

"We reject any form of discrimination," Sulaiman said. "I fear for Ryan's well-being as he has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse."

Garcia's family also distanced itself from the boxer's comments and issued a statement which said that the comments made by Garcia 'do not align with his, or our family's, true character or beliefs.'

"Our family unequivocally does not support any statements [Garcia] has made regarding race or religion -- these do not reflect who Ryan truly is and how he was raised," the family's statement further read.&nbsp;
