Concerned ex-wife says Ryan Garcia is "heavily oppressed" but father disputes, fans react with worry - "This info should be private"

Boxer Ryan Garcia, set to fight Devin Haney for the WBC super lightweight title, has ignited worry among fans due to his recent social media activity and his ex-wife's concerning statements.

Garcia's ex-wife, Andrea Celina Velarde, expressed her deep concern on social media, stating her belief that Garcia is "heavily oppressed" and "not okay." This stems from a series of cryptic and unsettling posts shared on Garcia's accounts, including a video and messages hinting at distress.

Velarde, despite their recent divorce, claims to have been in contact with Garcia and insists he is not well. She urged fans to pray for him, emphasizing:

"This is not a troll. I'm genuinely concerned."

However, Garcia's father disputes these claims, stating:

"Yes, Ryan is ok, he is just trolling the wrong way."

Fans reacted, with many expressing worry and questioning the appropriateness of posting personal matters on social media:

"This info should be private tbh"

"This should be kept in private posting on her story seems like she wants clout …"

Another fan raised the possibility of his match with Haney being impacted:

"That’s nuts this fight might not happen"
