Washingtoner/10137163

LOS ANGELES - Washingtoner -- Behind every strong man is a strong woman.  And with the newly inseparable "knockout celebrity couple" Hall of Fame Boxer Oscar de la Hoya and Model Holly Sonders, are taking the meaning of this saying to an entirely new level as they start their new chapter together.

After meeting onset while shooting a pilot for a new boxing and sports gambling show de la Hoya was looking to start in June, it was an instant love connection. While they've only been together a short amount of time, they understand what it means to live in sickness and health as Sonders was the driving force behind de la Hoya's recovery from COVID-19 – which ultimately made him cancel his match against Victor Belfort that was scheduled for September in Florida.

"While a lot of people think they know who I am from posting pictures on social media, they will never understand the instant bond that Oscar and I had the moment we met each other," said Sonders. "We have an undeniable connection on every level and just really understand each other and all we've been through. There's nothing that brings me more joy in this world than being his unwavering support system as we train tirelessly together everyday as he gets ready to reenter the ring in 2022."
