British professional boxer Georgia O’Connor has passed away at the age of 25 after a brave fight against a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Diagnosed in October 2024 with an incurable illness, O’Connor showed immense strength throughout her final months. Just two weeks before her passing, she married her partner, Adriano, sharing a heartfelt photo of their wedding rings—one of her final public moments of joy.
Originally from County Durham, O’Connor made her mark early in amateur boxing. She won gold at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games, silver at the World Youth Championships the same year, and bronze in 2018, becoming one of Britain’s most promising young talents.
