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.
Oleksandr Usyk reveals 'the only opponent I don't love' ahead of Daniel Dubois fight
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."

You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the animal in huge new maze in 10 seconds
The hedges currently stand around five feet high but they're expected to reach eight feet by the end of the summer GIANT PUZZLE You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the animal in huge new maze in 10 seconds Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the animal in this huge maze in ten seconds. The massive installation, in Fife, spans the length of three football pitches. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A 'mega maze' spanning the length of three football pitches is in the shape of a dog Credit: SWNS The sprawling labyrinth stretches over six acres at Cairnie Fruit Farm near Cupar. The hedges currently stand around five feet high. But they're expected to reach eight feet by the end of the summer. The elaborate maze has been created in the shape of a dog. Each year, the local attraction is altered and grown into a different shape. Planting begins each May, with gardeners using GPS trackers to create the striking design. Previous designs have included sea turtles, hedgehogs, Star Wars supervillain Darth Vader and Roald Dahl's BFG. This year, the Laird family - who run the farm - held a competition to choose the next design. And the winning entry was a canine, in homage to their family pup Koda. The lucky winner will be offered a free day out at the farm. They will be allowed to bring their own dog to try out the maze. The maze will remain standing until late October, when the farm's gardeners will harvest the hedges to prepare to start the process all over again next year. Cairnie Farm is one of Scotland's top fruit farms and is an ideal day out for families. It has a cafe, children's play area and a farm shop.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Harrison Solomon has surprised fans by not following Lauren Wood on Instagram after leaving the villa together. Although the pair slept together during their time on the show, Harrison, 22, is not yet following Lauren, 26, despite her already following him.

The unexpected 'snub' has led to speculation about the status of their relationship after the show. Harrison previously insisted he does not regret having sex in the villa – but hopes his parents weren't watching. The sportsman decided to leave the show on Thursday after being involved in a dramatic love triangle with Lauren Wood and Toni Laites. Viewers were shocked when he was seen making a plea to re-couple with Las Vegas cabana server Toni, despite bedding Lauren the night before. But Harrison, from Burton upon Trent but now based in Miami, said he has no regrets about taking things to the next level on TV. Asked how he felt about his mum and dad knowing what he had done, he said: 'I hope they didn't see. But listen, it was a natural thing. 'I don't think I intended to have sex in the villa, but in there all the Islanders could tell we were so attracted to each other. Naturally, it was going to happen. 'The spark between us was crazy. I probably wasn't thinking about my parents and them watching it, but it naturally happened and I don't regret it.' Lauren, who works as a dog walker in York, was booted from the villa on Wednesday night. 'What is that-' ask baffled fans after Love Island's Lauren confronts Harrison over love triangle with Toni She begged Harrison to follow and, 24 hours later, he made the choice to go. Tonight, fans of the series will see the pair reunite on the spin-off show, Aftersun. Speaking about Lauren, Harrison said: 'We will make the distance work. It will be no issue. 'We left on good terms, but the two days prior to leaving, we weren't talking properly. 'So it would be good to have a conversation, get everything out in the open and hopefully we move forward from there. 'I feel very strongly about the girl. 'I wouldn't have left if I didn't. 'I have no doubt in my mind that she'll be my girlfriend one day. I'm buzzing to see her and reunite. She's such a great girl.' Meanwhile, Harrison said he would be 'mortified' if someone treated his sister the way he acted towards Toni. He revealed: 'I'd like to think we could be friends. I did her wrong a few times in there, so I understand if she doesn't want to reciprocate that. 'The conversation prior to me leaving was a big moment for me and her. I reflected on my whole situation throughout the day, I just let it out. 'You could tell by me getting emotional, I was upset about how I've acted and upset about Toni being upset as well. 'Similarly, if someone treated my sister like I'd treated Toni in there, obviously I'd be mortified. 'I wanted to apologise to her and I think she could see I was being genuine. 'I'm happy with how things were left.' Aside from Toni and Lauren, Harrison also explored connections with air hostess Helena Ford and Shakira Khan in the villa. Harrison said: 'Normally, I say I live life with no regrets. 'But the way I went about certain situations, I definitely would have handled it differently on reflection. 'Should have been more honest' 'I feel like I would've taken myself away from the situation for a day or two and just really figured out what I wanted. 'I would've had those awkward conversations just to let people know where my head was at. I do shy away from those conversations on the outside. 'Especially here, I should have been more honest. 'It was for the greater good, and it would have stopped people's feelings from getting hurt. 'People were hurt more by me being so indecisive and trying to avoid awkward conversations. 'I definitely would have gone about handling triangles in another way.' 4 They left the villa together in Thursday's episode Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Tyson Fury issues new statement after watching Oleksandr Usyk KO Daniel Dubois
Tyson Fury insists he beat Oleksandr Usyk twice last year and insists he won both fights - despite the Ukrainian being named the winner Tyson Fury has attempted to explain why he should be handed a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Fury was beaten twice by Usyk last year, the first time losing out on the opportunity to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion. The Brit was also beaten in the rivals' Christmas rematch and promptly hung up his gloves - before reversing his decision to retire earlier this month. On Saturday night, Usyk flattened Daniel Dubois in the fifth round to become the undisputed ruler for a second time - and Fury has attempted to analyse the heavyweight scene. "After watching the boxing last night and reflecting on the situation," Fury said, "AJ boxed Daniel Dubois recently and got ironed out, knocked down five times, flattened. "Dubois was on a great run, three big knockouts in a row, including Joshua and [Filip] Hrgovic and [Jarrell] Miller, and he goes in there and gets absolutely plastered, iced out by Usyk. AJ got ironed out by Dubois properly and Usyk just ironed out Dubois. "So, it just shows, there's all the big fights - [like] Tyson Fury and AJ - but it's quite pointless. The only man who's been able to beat this ****** is myself and been ripped off. I'm not sure what's going on, but you know what it is? GK [Gypsy King] all day, every day, still the top dog, still the top G. Beat him twice and I'll do it again. Wembley, here we come." Immediately after the fight, Fury posted a video of himself on a run: 'Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk," he said. 'He did a fantastic performance tonight over Daniel Dubois, a good, young, game lad who came for a good tear, so congratulations to both men but Oleksandr Usyk knows there is only one man who can beat him. 'I did it twice before and the world knows it. I have been f***** good and proper. I took it like a man and here is me, not f****** around at some boxing match, I am out on the road running. I am running tonight. I came home, I did my job and I got myself back and I am the man. 'I am the f****** spartan and no matter what anyone wants to say, I won those fights. Guaranteed, 100 per cent. There is only one man. GK (Gypsy King) all day every day. Get up!' Queensberry chief Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, acknowledged a third fight with Usyk would be 'big' but reiterated WBO mandatory Joseph Parker is next in line. 'Tyson has made it very clear to me he would love to fight at Wembley and would love do that fight. And it would be a big fight, I am quite sure of it,' Warren admitted. 'As a fan, I would like to see the Joe Parker fight. Joe deserves it, he is on a run himself similar to what Daniel was on and that is the fight that has been ordered. One way or another it will either happen or Joe will fight for the vacant title.'
