“While this decision marks the end of our marriage, it’s important to emphasise that our relationship as co-parents remains our top priority.”

King Ry has amassed a 24-1 record with 20 knockouts since making his professional debut aged 17.

He has since become one of the sports biggest stars and moved up to a 136lbs catchweight for a super fight with Gervonta Davis last April.

The seventh round KO loss is the sole defeat on his record to date.

Garcia bounced back by knocking out Oscar Duarte Jurado in Houston in December.

The 25-year-old’s next bout has yet to be confirmed as he targets a 25th pro victory.

The couple had been married since 2021
