Six-time World Champion boxer Mary Kom officially confirmed on Wednesday that she and her husband, Karung Onkholer, had legally divorced on December 20, 2023.

This announcement came through an official statement issued by her advocate amid mounting rumours and online speculation linking Kom to her business associate, Hitesh Choudhary. Kom dismissed these rumours, categorically denying any extramarital affair, clarifying that her separation from Onkholer had been mutual and that their divorce, finalised under KOM CUSTOMARY LAW, had been in the works for nearly two years.
