And the American sparked serious concerns over his mental health this past weekend when he shared a video claiming he was dead.

Garcia’s ex-wife, Andrea Celina, has been in contact with the 25-year-old since the harrowing post but insists the father of her two children is far from mentally stable.

She wrote on her Instagram story: “‘If all my followers who are believers can you please pray for Ryan.

“‘We are not together and I’ve been in contact with him and he may seem fine but he is not.

“I know in my heart he is being heavily oppressed.

“This is not a troll, I’m genuinely concerned and so is all his family members.

“We are not part of any of this and want him to get better but this IS REAL. Pray for him.”

Garcia’s dad, Henry, was quick to downplay suggestions of his son going through a mental health crisis, insisting he’s “trolling” his followers.

He wrote: “Yes Ryan is ok, he’s just trolling the wrong way.

Henry, however, claimed all is not what it seems behind the scenes, adding: “There’s more to it. Trust.”

Former interim WBC lightweight champion Garcia celebrated the birth of his third child – his second with Celina – in January 2024.

He gushed over the the arrival of his son on social media, just HOURS before announcing his separation from Celina.

In a now-deleted post, he wrote: ” As I step into a new chapter in my life, it’s with a heavy heart to share that Drea and I have decided to divorce.

“While this decision marks the end of our marriage, it’s important to emphasize that our relationship as co-parents remains our top priority.’

He went on: ‘Throughout our years together, Drea has been an incredible partner and an even more extraordinary mother to our two children.

“I’m deeply grateful for the years we shared and for her unwavering commitment to our family.

“As we move forward, my focus remains on the health and wellbeing of our two beautiful kids. They are and will always be my first priority.

“I’m fully committed to working with Drea to make sure our children’s needs and best interests always guide our path forward.

“I believe our mutual devotion to our children is rock solid, and I trust that together we will provide them with the love, support and stability that they need.”

Garcia is now dating Australian model Mikaela Testa, who he recently revealed he plans to train for a Misfits boxing match.
