Mary Kom Confirms Divorce from Husband Onler, Denies Rumours of New Relationship

Boxing icon Mary Kom has officially confirmed her separation from her husband Onkholer (Onler) Kom, putting an end to weeks of speculation circulating on social media. In a detailed legal statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), the Olympic medallist clarified that the couple finalized their divorce by mutual consent on December 20, 2023, under Kom customary law. The decision was made in the presence of both families and community elders.

Addressing the sensitive matter through her legal representative, Advocate Rajat Mathur, Mary Kom shared that she has moved forward in life and does not wish to delve further into details about her past marriage.

The statement also tackled ongoing rumours suggesting that Mary Kom is romantically involved with Mr. Hitesh Choudhary, who is the Chairman of the Mary Kom Boxing Foundation and a business partner. These claims, according to the legal notice, are “categorically false”.

“The rumours about Ms. Mary Kom dating Mr. Hitesh Choudhary or being involved with another boxer’s husband are entirely baseless and incorrect,” the letter read. “Mr. Choudhary’s association with Mary Kom is strictly professional, and any suggestion otherwise is misleading and should not be spread further.”

Mary Kom emphasized that while she wishes to maintain her privacy during this personal chapter, it was necessary to issue this clarification due to the persistent media chatter.

This statement marks the first time the six-time world champion has publicly spoken about her divorce and the personal rumours, choosing dignity and transparency while urging the media and public to respect her privacy.
