Ex-boxing champ Mia St. John says authorities in L.A. have repeatedly shut down her Alcoholic's Anonymous meetings due to COVID-19 ... but she claims it's now becoming a matter of life and death.

But, Mia says officials have told her to stop to the gatherings as a part of California's tough stance on coronavirus.
We spoke with St. John who says the situation is "absolutely ridiculous" because she's been following strict social distancing guidelines.
