  We discuss the possibility of interpreting the 125 GeV scalar boson and the
750 GeV diphoton excess recently reported by the ATLAS and CMS experiments as a
Higgs-dominated and a radion-dominated states respectively in a stabilized
brane-world model. It is shown that in the simplest variant of the model, where
only the gravitational degrees of freedom propagate in the bulk, the production
cross section of the radion-dominated state with mass 750 GeV turns out to be
too small in the allowed region of the model parameter space for explaining the
nature of the excess in this approach.
