Who is Geraldine Lerena?
Together with Kevin, Geraldine is involved with Aquila Boxing Promotions but recently told an interviewer that her main role is to keep the couple's home running smoothly.
"Kevin's life is stressful so I try to keep everything at home running as smooth as I can," she said. "There's a lot of teamwork."
In the same interview, ahead of The Reckoning this year, Kevin said it is "also not easy being a mum" and said he tries to be as supportive as he can.
The Reckoning was the name of a boxing event headlined by Kevin, where he defended his WBC bridgerweight title against Ukrainian fighter Serhiy Radchenko.
The event took place at the Sunbet Arena in Pretoria, South Africa, on May 1.
Lerena won the fight by knockout in the third round and Geraldine was – as usual – ringside.
The couple, who married in 2021, regularly post about their family life on Instagram.
When their son Maximus was born last year, Kevin wrote: "Happy Birthday and a warm welcome to our beautiful blessing Maximus Matthew Lerena, who arrived weighing in at 3.3kgs with a full mop of hair!!
"Though our little champ is currently in Neonatal ICU, we are grateful for the strength and health of Mommy!!!
"Maximus came into the world fighting. Thank you for all the Love & Prayers. God is great! Lots of love from Kevin & Geraldine Lerena."
In another post, on March 17 this year, Kevin wrote: "Happy birthday to my incredible wife.
"A loving supportive wife, devoted mother, and incredible stepmom. Your kindness, and strength inspires me daily. Thank you … Forever grateful for you Mrs Lerena.
"Today we celebrate you."

Tommy Brooks dead at 71: Boxing trainer who coached Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield passes away after cancer fight
LEGENDARY boxing trainer Tommy Brooks has died aged 71 after a fight with cancer. Brooks was a national amateur champion in America before turning professional in 1977. 1 He only had a brief boxing career, winning his first seven bouts before losing three on the spin to retire and focus on training fighters. Brooks shot to recognition as a coach first with Evander Holyfield. But after Mike Tyson was twice beaten by Holyfield, who also turned to Brooks during his comeback trail. And Brooks coached Tyson up until his 2002 loss to Lennox Lewis - parting way afterwards. Brooks also coached Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko as well as 2008 British Olympic bronze medalist David Price. Hall of Fame promoter Lou DiBella paid tribute, posting: "Got more bad news a little while ago. "It was just confirmed by his family that esteemed boxing trainer Tommy Brooks died tonight, after having fought a very aggressive cancer. "Too young. Great boxing man and even better person, he was just a solid dude. "Shared many memorable nights with Tommy and his wife, Donna Duva, during the glory days of Main Events. "My love and prayers to Donna and all their fam."

I got insured on Tyson Fury's car while sparring Gypsy King and got a parking ticket – I left him to pay it
DAVID ADELEYE owes Tyson Fury a lot after being welcomed into his training camp - including the money for a parking ticket. Adeleye - once tipped as the future of the heavyweight division by Fury - became one of the Gypsy King's favourite go-to sparring partners. 4 4 He was first drafted before Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in 2020 - and became part of his Morecambe HQ furniture soon after. Adeleye spent so much time in Fury's Lancaster camp that he even got insured on one of the two-time champion's many motors. And despite owing Fury a debt of gratitude for the training invitation - Adeleye hilariously admits to leaving the multimillionaire with a parking fine to pay. He told SunSport: "I probably am still insured, to be honest. I ain't been there in a few years but I probably still am because we still talk. "It's so funny right because, I'll tell you a story, obviously I was insured in this car and I got a parking ticket. "And I just left the ticket in the car. I was like, 'Tyson's got the f***ing money, mate. You can just pay for it.' "So when I gave him back the car, he just saw the parking ticket. He didn't even bring it up to me - so he must have just paid for it. "So I probably still owe him! But he'll be alright." Adeleye - who can switch from intimidating brute to friendly giant in the blink of an eye - has also sparred Anthony Joshua. But he learnt more from observing what Fury and AJ did outside of the ring than he did when sharing it with them. He said: "You see how they prepare, you see how they deal with camps, deal with sparring partners and dealing with different things and how they take their nutrition and whatnot. "I'm a sponge. I'm observant. I'm not one of those people that just walk into the room not really know what's going on, any room I walk into, I kind of study and wanna know what's going on. "So, yeah, I was just looking from a different sort of perspective." Adeleye - with 13 knockouts in his 14 wins with just one loss - sparred the pair of British superstars in their primes. But the Londoner - friends with both - refuses to split them - back then or now. He said: "They've both got different attributes, honestly. "They both do different things good, so honestly, I wouldn't know. I wish they fought back then though. I was insured in this car and I got a parking ticket. And I just left the ticket in the car. I was like, 'Tyson's got the f***ing money, mate. You can just pay for it.' David Adeleye "So that way I would have been like, 'I know why he did this, or I know why he did that.' "But obviously they haven't fought, so I think when they do fight, it'll probably be next year, then it'll be interesting to see because I feel like they're still very good fighters and yeah they lost but they lost the people at the top of the tree." Joshua, 35, is plotting a comeback fight before the year ends having not returned since his September KO loss to Daniel Dubois, 27. Fury, 36, meanwhile also announced he will be back in 2026 having retired in January off the back of two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 38. But the division faces a changing of the guard with Usyk, Fury and AJ all coming to the closing stages of their careers. It leaves the crop of young, hungry lions like Adeleye - who knocked out Jeamie Tshikeva in his last fight - waiting to pounce. The former elite amateur champion - only beaten by Fabio Wardley - returns on August 16 in Saudi Arabia against Filip Hrgovic on DAZN PPV. And he warned: "This is my coming out fight. "This is the fight that gets me up in the mix, gets my name involved with all these world title fights." 4

Paris & Tyson Fury's £800K former family home is up for sale & it has sea-views, chandeliers and posh ‘marble' bathrooms
BOXING fans can snap up Tyson Fury's eccentric former family home for £800,000 - with a moody portrait of the Gypsy King in the hallway. The six-bedroom seaside mansion in Morecambe, Lancashire, was listed on Rightmove on July 22. 18 18 18 18 18 Estate agents Fine & Country's snaps show a mood black and white portrait of 36-year-old Fury's head hung in the hallway under a lavish chandelier. Eccentric patterned wallpaper wraps up the stairs towards the former world heavyweight champion's master bedroom. Its white marble-style bathroom walls, diamond-spotted carpet and dining chairs with door knockers add to the property's quirky style. Fury's glam wife Paris Fury could be seen posing next to the unique staircase in snaps shared to her Instagram account between 2018 and 2021. Fury then moved to a larger mansion further down the Morecambe coastline, honouring his public pledge not to leave his beloved home town - but it was reported the property was still in his portfolio in 2023. Rightmove records show the three-bath detached property was bought for £480,000 in 2015 and is now listed for £800,000. Tyson Fury has been contacted for comment. HUMBLE DWELLING call their old house home. Speaking on a three-part ITV documentary in 2020, "People say to me, 'Why don't you live in California or America?' - why would I? How Tyson Fury's second season of Netflix reality show can be key to finally securing Anthony Joshua fight "Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame? "I love it. I would never leave Morecambe. It's true beauty. "If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid." Before making Morecambe his home in 2011, Fury used to reside in a caravan on land owned by his dad John. 18 18 18 18 18 18 NEW PAD The family now live in a stunning £1.7million home - seen on their Netflix show At Home with the Furys - after purchasing it in 2020, according to The Mirror. Paris previously revealed on Loose Women that they were looking for somewhere else to live because they had to put their children's safety as their priority. The mum-of-seven explained: "We get people around the house. It's not good, we actually have to because of that. "We're in the process of moving house because we've had too many people at the door - too many strangers knocking.' As soon as you pull up into the Fury's plush Morecambe mansion, there's no mistaking where you are - that's because Tyson has had his nickname the "Gypsy King" emblazoned on the driveway. A team of groundworkers spent two weeks working on the 1,200sqm project and used a rather impressive 1,400 bags of gravel. She's married to the "Gypsy King", so it's only right Paris has a throne fit for a Queen. The couple have both been pictured casually sitting on a golden throne, which was a prop used by Fury during his ring-walk in February 2020's rematch against Deontay Wilder. 18 18 Paris has previously shown off the couple's master bedroom, which is decorated with gold accessories and furniture - including a huge Versace bed. But it turns out the couple's love of the Italian luxury fashion brand is extended throughout the lavish abode, with Paris posing next to a striking Versace mirror. It's proudly placed above a stunning marble fireplace, which is complete with eagle carvings, while a chic white painted dresser with glass doors is stood to its side. The regal seat now takes pride of place in the family's home and only adds to the sense of grandeur felt by other luxuries - including ornate candlesticks and sweeping gold curtains which adorn the property. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn".
