Ryan Garcia breaks his silence after disturbing video claiming he was dead and had his ‘throat slit’ appeared on social media… raising concerns about the American’s well-being

Ryan Garcia broke his silence after a social media post claiming he was dead appeared on his X account over the weekend.

Concerns about the 25-year-old’s well-being emerged after a disturbing video on social media of Garcia claiming his throat had been slit.

The super lightweight contender has now responded to speculation over his safety.

In a video message obtained by TMZGarcia said: ‘Hi guys, I’m Ryan. I come here to explain what is happening.

‘I don’t have my phone, I can’t access my Instagram. My cards are blocked. They are really taking advantage of me.

‘Personally I would like to send a video to the people who love me and my fans, to the family who is worried because I am fine. I’m not dead, I believe in Jesus, all those (rumors) are lies.’

Garcia also added that an unidentified person was trying to imprison him and that he had not received any help from those he had contacted.

Her message continued: “I don’t know what’s going on, but I know I’m okay.”

Garcia will face fellow American Devin Haney in a fight for Haney’s WBC super lightweight belt on April 20.

But it is feared that he is not in the right state of mind to enter the ring.

His ex-wife, Andrea Celina, believes that García “may seem well but he is not” and has stated that he is “very oppressed.”

García and Celina, who have two children together, announced their divorce in January.

British promoter Eddie Hearn also admitted he is concerned about Garcia’s “erratic” behavior following his controversial antics at a press conference for his fight with Haney last week.

Garcia rode a horse to the event and was taken by security to the arena in Los Angeles, and the press conference turned ugly after Haney accused Garcia’s father of racist taunts toward him.

Despite his current personal issues, Garcia’s feud with Haney will still move forward.

His goal will be to become world champion for the first time after falling short against Gervonta Davis last April.

Garcia was stopped by a body shot in the seventh round as he suffered the first loss of his professional career.

He returned with a knockout victory against Oscar Duarte in December to take his record to 24-1 with 20 knockouts.
