O'Connor received a cancer diagnosis in January 2025 after enduring months of severe pain, which she said medical professionals repeatedly dismissed.
In an Instagram post, O'Connor revealed that she had been in pain since October and alleged that doctors ignored her symptoms despite her pre-existing conditions—ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis—which increased her cancer risk. 'Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony,' she wrote. 'Now the cancer has spread.'
O'Connor turned professional in 2021 and remained undefeated in her three fights. She won a gold medal at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games, silver at the 2017 Youth World Championships, and bronze at the 2018 Youth World Championships. Before her death, she disclosed publicly that she had suffered a miscarriage earlier in 2025.
The boxer married her longtime partner, Adriano Cardinali, on May 9, just two weeks before her death. She had updated her social media to reflect her new surname.

Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom stated on X: 'My heart goes out to Georgia's parents and partner, who I know did everything they could tirelessly and are going through so much right now.' England Boxing also paid tribute, calling her a 'gifted boxer and beloved member of the amateur boxing community.'
Tributes poured in from the global boxing world, including messages from Claressa Shields, Jack Catterall, Jake Paul, and Ellie Scotney. Scotney, a close friend, wrote: 'Even when life was on a timer, you never let anything dim that light of yours.'

Lakers' Rui Hachinura Turns Heads With NBA Offseason Move
Lakers' Rui Hachinura Turns Heads With NBA Offseason Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers leaned heavily on Rui Hachimura throughout the regular season, as he averaged 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, shooting 50.9% from the field over 68 appearances. Known for his efficient scoring and perimeter shooting ability, Hachimura emerged as a key starting player next to superstars LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Advertisement In the first round of the playoffs against Minnesota, Hachimura maintained his productivity, averaging 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and one assist in 36.4 minutes per game across five contests. He delivered two standout 23-point performances in Games 4 and 5. However, the Lakers could not get past the Timberwolves, and now face questions in the NBA offseason.

With the team exploring roster changes—particularly to add interior rebounding—the 6-foot‑8 forward's expiring contract makes him a trade candidate. Advertisement Amid this speculation, Hachimura shared an Instagram carousel documenting his time in Cuba, including a photo of him playing basketball with locals. The forward's offseason activity drew several fan reactions on social media. 'Rui everywhere,' one fan wrote. 'Damn Rui still looking for a center I see,' another fan posted. 'He can chill there until he learns how to rebound at 6'8,' a third fan added. 'Looking for a center huh,' another fan echoed. 'Cuba is amazing 🇨🇺 I love this place," said another. "Bro's making a world tour," said another. "HOPE YOUR HAVING THE BEST TIME THERE," a fan wrote in all caps.

Club World Cup: Jack Grealish left out of Man City squad
MIAMI (AP) — Jack Grealish has been left out of Manchester City's squad for the Club World Cup. City manager Pep Guardiola named a 27-man squad for the tournament, which kicks off in Miami on Saturday, with Grealish a notable omission. Advertisement The England forward was a British record signing when he moved to City from Aston Villa for 100 million pounds ($139 million then) in 2021 and went on to help the club win three Premier League titles, the Champions League and a host of other trophies. But he has become an increasingly peripheral figure and made only seven league starts last season. The 29-year-old Grealish's absence from the Club World Cup will add to the growing expectation that he will leave during the offseason, with Guardiola embarking on a squad rebuild following the team's first trophyless season in eight years. City's squad includes four new players signed in time to take part in the month-long tournament in the United States: Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli. Advertisement In January, City also spent big to sign Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis as Guardiola began his overhaul of a squad that saw its dominance of English soccer broken by Liverpool last season. If Grealish goes, he is likely to be one of a number of players to move on. Kevin De Bruyne is leaving at the end of his contract this month and Kyle Walker is also likely to go after a loan move to AC Milan in January; as expected, neither player was in the squad. City's first match at the 32-team tournament is against Wydad Casablanca next Wednesday in Philadelphia. The other teams in the group are Juventus and Abu Dhabi's Al Ain. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer: James Robson, The Associated Press
