Ryan Garcia has embarked on another bizarre social-media rant just days after promising to only discuss boxing in the lead-up to his fight against Devin Haney.
Garcia, who is scheduled to face WBC super-lightweight champion Haney in Brooklyn on April 20, raised concerns about his mental health earlier this month after making a series of worrying posts online.
A disturbing and cryptic video was first shared to the 25-year-old’s accounts claiming he was dead after having his ‘throat slit’, before he alleged that he was raped by a family at the age of two, witnessed child rape after being kidnapped by ‘the elites’, and that an earthquake is set to ‘destroy’ Hollywood and Las Vegas in the summer.
Fans have been calling for boxing officials to cancel his upcoming clash with Haney, widely considered one of the top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. Yet last Wednesday Garcia insisted his online tirade was over and that he would only be discussing boxing-related topics while beginning his training camp for the fight.

‘I Ryan Garcia, will not be speaking or tweeting or writing anything other then My Fight “Boxing” and Sports,’ he wrote. ‘All topics of discussion will be discussed after my fight – 5 weeks of focus. You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20.’
Though despite getting his preparations underway with trainer Derrick James, Garcia has now posted another series of cryptic messages on his X account.
‘I SEE YALL WORKING FOR the ENEMY,’ he wrote in one of the posts. ‘Sad to see come to Christ. It is in front of your eyes, they probably will say, your tweet the other day, only talk about what we want, if not then we will send the bots.
‘Time is no more, start digging for ground just to find yourself getting closer to your final destination’.
Garcia then put in another post: ‘OH NO OH NO, You can’t see me. Oh yes we quite do – Oh no oh no You don’t know that everyone is laughing Only laughing. While I’m SCREAMING.
‘There is children watching. Why oh why. Oh yeah that’s right. Your master told you so. Come to JESUS.’
He eventually concluded his latest tirade by saying: ‘I just want to say to yall, I love yall. Everything I’m doing is out of love. I’m just sharing the Love God has for me with yall.
‘I know some stuff is intense but how will I get the message across. It’s so urgent. I love yall. I’m training hard as you can see I love yall.’
Last Sunday he posted a disturbing video to his social-media accounts claiming he was dead and that his ‘throat had been slit’
The 25-year-old then alleged that he was raped in a disturbing rant 48 hours later
Just five days ago Garcia claimed he would no longer be discussing non-boxing-related topics
Garcia also made another string of bizarre claims on Instagram over the weekend, including that he’s been in the back rooms of The Vatican and was shown robes and jewels.
He 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 last Sunday – which also included several satanic references – taking to social media himself 24 hours later to explain the situation.
However, on the 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.’
He has now started his training camp ahead of the world-title fight against Haney next month
Fans have been calling for Garcia to be pulled out of the bout amid fears over his state of mind
His other social-media tirades included a bizarre claim that Hollywood and Las Vegas is set to be ‘destroyed’ by an earthquake
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’.
‘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.
Garcia is set to challenge for the WBC super-lightweight title when he takes on Haney
‘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.’
Dailymail.com reached out to Golden Boy Promotions, representatives of Haney and the WBC – the governing body sanctioning next month’s fight – for further information last week but received no correspondence.
It is believed there are no plans to either postpone or cancel the bout after Garcia entered his training camp.
