Ryan Garcia has been heavily criticized on social media after he appeared to claim he predicted the Baltimore Key Bridge disaster would happen in a conveniently deleted tweet.

In terrifying scenes early on Tuesday morning, a cargo ship plowed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused it to collapse.

The ship's crew issued a mayday call, saying they had lost power and the vessel's steering system just minutes before striking one of the bridge's columns.

At least eight people went into the water. Two were rescued, but the other six - part of a construction crew that had been filling potholes on the bridge - were missing and presumed dead.

But Garcia, who has sparked outrage in recent weeks because of his erratic behavior on social media, has appeared to claim that he predicted the incident would happen.

Garcia reposted a tweet - that he claims was deleted during his recent social media rant - that reads: 'Something bad is going to happen in Baltimore, Maryland on March 26, 2024.'

He captioned his post: 'As people know during that time when I was tweeting and writing a bunch of stuff. My tweets were constantly getting deleted and I was showing proof.

'I will say that it is not me who knows but God, the Holy Spirit speaking thru me. 

'There is times I forget what I say, like I said I pray for the people effected in this tragedy in Baltimore. Half my tweets were deleted and not by my doing To God receive the Glory not me'.

But fans on social media have been quick to slam the boxer and insist that he did not in fact post the tweet he claims to have done.

One replied: 'Bro you never tweeted this stop lying. You can check your deleted tweets history....'

Another commented: 'You actually believing you tweeted this is scarier than anything you've done so far. Please take a break from social media. I want to see the right happen.'

'I screenshotted everything,' added another. 'Trust me when I say you didn't predict this tragic event. God as our witness'. 

A fan added: 'Never posted this. Enough bro.'

'Lol you didn't say this. Someone made it up,' said another.

Garcia's behavior on social media has caused concern among fans for his mental well-being. Others argue that the Victorville, California native should not be fighting Haney next month.

The level of concern for Garcia peaked on March 3 when a cryptic and disturbing video claiming he was dead after getting his 'throat slit' was posted on his social media accounts.

Over the next 72 hours, Garcia alleged he was raped by a family member at the age of two, has evidence of aliens existing, and witnessed children being raped by 'the elites' after being tied up at Bohemian Grove.

Garcia also claimed that an earthquake would 'destroy' Hollywood and Las Vegas while labelling Elon Musk the 'Antichrist'.

On March 13, Garcia revealed that he is looking for a girlfriend while posting a topless picture on his Instagram story. The post came after he announced his relationship with influencer Mikaela Testa in February following his divorce from Andrea Celina.

After vowing to quit his social media antics to focus on training, Garcia's controversial claims continued as he attacked Prime founders Logan Paul and KSI and their company.

'What's in Prime? Look it up,' he told Aldin Ross. 'There is cyanide in there, cyanide kills you. They don't give a f*** about kids bro, they are f***ing sick f***s, bro.'

Garcia also led calls to 'free' controversial influencer Andrew Tate after he was arrested and released in Romania for a UK sexual assault warrant.

On Tuesday, he offered to pay for Brazilian butt lifts and breast implants for women.

Investigators began collecting evidence Wednesday from the cargo ship, while in the waters below divers searched through twisted metal for six construction workers who plunged into the harbor and were feared dead.

The investigation picked up speed as the Baltimore region reeled from the sudden loss of a major transportation link that's part of the highway loop around the city. The disaster also closed the port that is vital to the city's shipping industry. 

Maryland Governor Wes Moore said the divers faced dangerous conditions.

'They are down there in darkness where they can literally see about a foot in front of them. They are trying to navigate mangled metal, and they´re also in a place it is now presumed that people have lost their lives,' he said Wednesday.

Among the missing were people from Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, according to diplomats from those countries. Three Mexicans were on the bridge. One was rescued, and two are missing, said Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Video showed the ship moving at what Maryland´s governor said was about 9 mph. Traffic was still moving across the span, and some vehicles appeared to escape with only seconds to spare. The crash caused the span to break and fall into the water within seconds.

The last-minute warning from the ship allowed police just enough time to stop traffic on the interstate highway. 

One officer parked sideways across the lanes and planned to drive onto the bridge to alert a construction crew once another officer arrived. But he did not get the chance as the powerless the vessel barreled into the bridge.
