Wed Apr 09 10:56:32 UTC 2025: ## Boxing Legend Mary Kom Reportedly on Brink of Divorce

**NEW DELHI** – Rumors of marital trouble are swirling around Indian boxing champion Mary Kom and her husband, Karung Onkholer (Onler). According to a Hindustan Times report, the couple, married since 2005, are reportedly separated and possibly headed for divorce.

The rift allegedly began after Onler’s unsuccessful campaign in the 2022 Manipur Assembly Elections. The couple reportedly invested ₹2-3 crore (approximately $240,000 – $360,000 USD) in the campaign, and the subsequent loss has caused significant financial and emotional strain. Sources claim Onler was hesitant to enter politics, only agreeing at Mary Kom’s urging.

Mary Kom has reportedly moved to the family’s Faridabad home with their four children, while Onler remains in Delhi. A source close to the couple confirmed escalating differences, citing Mary Kom’s unhappiness with both the financial losses and her husband’s electoral defeat.

Adding fuel to the speculation is a claim from an anonymous boxer suggesting the rumors are true and alleging Mary Kom is involved with another boxer’s husband. This claim is further fueled by recent Instagram posts featuring the alleged new partner as a business associate.

While neither Mary Kom nor Onler has publicly commented, the source emphasized Onler’s emotional distress over the separation, noting his dedication to his family and the sacrifices he made for his wife’s boxing career. The situation remains fluid, with the future of their marriage uncertain.
