UFC Middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, is in the middle of a controversy as his ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell, is reportedly demanding half of his net worth, despite never having been married.
The couple had been in a long-term relationship, but Adesanya‘s fellow UFC fighter, Sean O’Malley, expressed his disbelief on his podcast about Powdrell’s demands, stating that “to want half of what he’s gone out there and done is absolutely ridiculous.”
Adesanya, who has built an empire through his skills in the octagon and business acumen, is now facing a legal battle with his ex-girlfriend over his wealth. Powdrell believes that she has a right to a portion of his wealth as she had supported him throughout the years to become a UFC Champion.
While the details surrounding their finances and partnership are private, the legal action has sparked a discussion about what is fair and deserved. Many followers and commentators have sided with Adesanya and O’Malley, feeling that Powdrell is improperly trying to gain from his fame and fortune rather than the time and devotion they shared.
However, some maintain that Powdrell may have a legitimate claim if their agreement and her assistance can be verified. The outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain.
Despite the situation, Adesanya is unlikely to be distracted from his upcoming title defense against the winner of Dricus du Plessis and Robert Whittaker.
Nevertheless, the controversy has brought an embarrassing furor that he could have done without, demonstrating that even successful athletes can face personal and money issues.
