Ryan Garcia sparked concern among fans and fellow boxers after a disturbing video was posted to his social media accounts.
The video shows shaky footage, offering a brief glimpse of an unidentifiable man in a house, which appears to be Garcia’s.
”We got him boys. RYAN GARCIA RIP B***H. 666,’ is written over the clip, ‘Video is exactly 666 in time. WE TOLD YOU WE WERE COMING.’ A stream of random letters then follow.
The six-second clip was posted to the Mexican’s X and Instagram accounts with both posts accompanied by equally alarming captions but it is unclear if they were shared by Garcia himself.

The caption on his Instagram post mentioned the ‘death of Ryan Garcia’
Meanwhile, the Instagram caption contains a similar rambling of random words and letters with one clear sentence reading: ‘THE DEATH OF RYAN GARCIA BILL HANEY WAS RIGHT ON THAT ONE.’
The video was still up on both accounts as of Sunday night and no comment has been made by Garcia’s promoter, Golden Boy. DailyMail.com has contacted Golden Boy Promotions.
His dad, Henry Garcia, did provide a small update later on Sunday when a fan commented on one of his past Instagram posts.
The coach reassured them that his son was ‘just trolling’ but hinted there was more going on behind the scenes.
‘Yes Ryan is ok , he’s just trolling the wrong way,’ he wrote in response to the fan asking if Garcia Jr. was okay. ‘No there’s more to it . Trust,’ Henry later added.
Garcia is scheduled to fight Devin Haney on April 20.
The radio silence from Garcia’s camp and the disturbing content of the posts left many concerned for the health of the fighter.
Some fans claimed he had been hacked, while others said they were praying for the Mexican.
MMA fighter Dillon Danis wrote in the comment section of the Instagram post: ‘I’ll pay for you to get help man feel bad for you.’

‘Praying for you Ryan… your young and under spiritual attack you have opened doorways for the enemy to attack you. You don’t have to reach rock bottom like I did to repent and be delivered…,’ Diego Sanchez added.
‘Ryan you need to cancel this fight and focus on your mental health away from the spotlight. Something ain’t right,’ boxing enthusiast Yorgos Kirkopoulos urged.
The posts come days after announced he has a new girlfriend – less than two months after divorcing model ex-wife Andrea Celina.
Garcia, the former WBC interim lightweight champion, made an incredible double revelation early last month when he announced the birth of his second child with Celina and their divorce in a matter of minutes.

Court documents later showed that he did so due to ‘irreconcilable differences’ with his wife of three years, despite still promising to support their two children – three-year-old Bela and newly-born Henry – financially going forward.
And following his split from Celina, Garcia has wasted no time in moving on with his next partner.
In a post on social media, the 25-year-old gushed over new girlfriend Mikaela Testa – an Australian influencer with over 400,000 followers on Instagram.
Neither Testa nor Celina have posted on social media since Garcia’s latest posts.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, he rode a white horse and wore an all-white outfit to arrive at the Los Angeles press conference for his fight against Haney.
