Ryan Garcia claims he is taking a vow of silence to ‘lock in’ on his upcoming world-title fight against Devin Haney – after raising concerns this week with a series of bizarre posts online.
Garcia, who is currently scheduled to face WBC super-lightweight champion Haney in Brooklyn on April 20, has sparked fears about his state of mind in recent days after making a number of disturbing accusations on social media.
The 25-year-old fighter first appeared to suggest that he was dead after having his ‘throat slit’ in a worrying video on Sunday, before alleging that he was raped by a family member as a child two days later.
His other astonishing and unproven claims include witnessing child rape after being tied down in the woods by ‘the elites’, an earthquake heading for Hollywood and Las Vegas on June 6 and X chief Elon Musk being the ‘Antichrist’.

Boxing fans have been calling for Garcia’s bout against Haney to be cancelled amid his concerning activity on social media, with Dailymail.com reaching out to both the WBC – the governing body sanctioning the contest – and Golden Boy Promotions for comment.
Yet in his latest post on X, Garcia has now claimed that he will no longer be discussing any non-boxing-related topics until the fight is over.
‘I Ryan Garcia, will not be speaking or tweeting or writing anything other then My Fight ”Boxing” and Sports. All topics of discussion will be discussed after my fight,’ he wrote.
‘5 weeks of focus. You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20’.
Garcia has previously spoken candidly about his struggles with mental health, admitting to having suicidal thoughts during a recent hiatus from boxing.
After returning in 2022, last year he was handed his first professional defeat in a stoppage loss against bitter rival Gervonta Davis.
Garcia initially suggested his phone had been hacked after the cryptic video claiming that he was dead surfaced on Sunday – which also included several satanic references – taking to social media himself 24 hours later to explain the situation.
However, on Tuesday he then returned to X to make a string of troubling and distressing allegations.

After posting about setting up a live drug test to prove his wellbeing and making more satanic refences, Garcia wrote: ‘I’ve been *grapes [raped] at 2 years old how would you act,’ before continuing, ‘by a family member. How would that feel to you how would you act’.
He added: ‘I’ve seen the worst s**t in my life. I’m tired of being quiet’.
When another user quoted his post with laughing emojis, Garcia replied: ‘It’s funny to people. I was raped as a two year old and I have proof and they laugh wtf is wrong with people.’
The 24-1 fighter then appeared to suggest he has witnessed human trafficking in another string of cryptic yet concerning posts.
He said: ‘What would you do if they held you down and made you watch yeah I’m losing it. The s**t I’ve seen I’m f****ng HURTING for the kids.
‘Human trafficking is the biggest trade in the world. And I’m hurting for them and I’m the crazy one. No one is doing anything.’
‘They held me down and made me watch of course I’ve lost it a little. They really begged me to join and I said F**K YOU’.

His ex-wife Andrea Celina also shared her concerns with his situation over the weekend
‘Are you guys the crazy ones!!! Cause I’m not lying they are hurting kids!!! And everyone is standing back telling me to shut up I DONT CARE ANYMORE. I’ll die for innocent souls taken if you aren’t on my side you are on the devils side.’
Garcia then accepted an invitation to join controversial influencer Andrew Tate on an X ‘Space’ – where users are able to speak in audio chat rooms.
He went into further details about the alleged human trafficking, claiming in his conversation with Tate that he was tied up by ‘the elites’ and forced to watch children being raped in the woods.
‘They held me down and made me watch little kids getting raped,’ Garcia said. ‘I don’t give a f**k any more.
‘Bro they f****ng took me to the f****ng woods bro and they tied me up, I’m not f****ng joking bro I have f****ng proof bro, I don’t give a f**k.
‘Bro I will f****ng show you every f****ng video you could ever f****ng believe.’

Tate then warned Garcia about the ‘dangerous path’ he is going down.
‘I don’t give a f**k,’ he replied. ‘I don’t give a f**k, they can’t touch me. I’m a god.’
Garcia then claimed to have proof of the alleged ordeal on his phone.
He followed up the conversation with Tate by adding on X: ‘Are the people going to get behind me or let them kill me that’s the real question???? Let Ryan Die or Help me.
‘If they kill me lt wasn’t me.’
