British professional boxer Georgia O’Connor has died aged 25, her promotion company BOXXER said on Thursday.

"We are heartbroken by the passing of Georgia O’Connor," BOXXER said in a statement on X. "A true warrior inside and outside the ring, the boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon."

O'Connor's death comes months after the British boxer shared with fans that she was suffering from cancer.

"For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong,” O’Connor wrote. "I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did."

O'Connor, who was from Durham, England, did not share what type of cancer she was suffering from.
