The 64-year-old superstar’s boyfriend has been posting about how he began training for this fight last year. 

He shared praise from the team ahead of his big match on his Instagram Stories.

“Witnessing the hard work, the resilience, the focus, and the fighter spirit this past year. I will confidently say he is taking the championship tomorrow at the Ringmaster final,” one wrote.

In addition, a Bredwinners coach shared: “Tomorrow @ Josh Harper will have the chance to marry the game by winning his first Ringmaster Golden Gloves.”

Madonna was spotted cheering on her boyfriend last month while sitting courtside at his match in Brooklyn.

Rumors had been spreading that the Material Girl was dating the much younger fighter, and she finally confirmed the romance when she shared a photo of her kissing a masked Josh, seemingly confirming the whispers.

The pair was dressed all in black, as she celebrated the Jewish holiday Purim.

The singer was wearing a black lace mask, as Josh donned a black scarf and cap, exposing only his eyes.

The two locked lips through their respective coverings.

Madonna captioned the photo “Killers who are partying,” as she dressed as Queen Esther, the heroine of the religious story.

Josh is a New York City-based boxer who attended Rowan University in New Jersey.

At one point, he was recruited by the Indianapolis Colts, and he trained with the Arizona Cardinals.

He is also the co-founder of Bredwinner’s boxing studio, which is how he met Madonna.

The pair became acquainted with one another after Popper began training the Queen of Pop’s son David Banda.

He appeared as a personal trainer to series regular Samantha Feher.

TAKE A BOW

It’s been nearly a year since Madonna said goodbye to boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams after three years together.

The superstar told friends she was single again after deciding things were not working out with the 29-year-old dancer.

The couple — who have a 35-year age gap — started dating in 2019, and Madonna regularly shared photos of him on social media.

But they were not seen together for several weeks, and friends said they amicably decided to separate.

A source said: “Madonna has thrown herself into a busy social life and has been seeing her friends and family after the split.

“She has a packed schedule, working on her upcoming biopic, new music, and looking after her family.

“Things have been on and off with Ahlamalik for a while. There’s a lot of love, but for now, they have decided to separate.

“They are still on good terms and there are no hard feelings but they are at different places with their lives.

“They spent months together on tour and in lockdown, but now, he has moved out of her home.

“With them both working on other things, it was hard to keep their romance alight.”

Ahlamalik first met Madonna while dancing on her Rebel Heart tour in 2015.

During their romance, she helped him land a lucrative deal with fashion designer Stella McCartney and collaborated with him on a song as he tried to launch his own music career.
