Does Diego Pacheco have kids? A look at boxing star's family and relationship status ahead of Maciej Sulecki fight

Diego Pacheco has quickly risen to prominence as one of the most promising prospects in the super middleweight division thanks to his dynamic fighting style. However, little is known about the undefeated boxing star's personal life and relationships.

The WBO International 168-pound champion shares a close relationship with his partner, Jo, with whom he has a child and enjoys a settled family life. Although the details of when their romantic journey began are somewhat elusive, their early social media posts hint at a long-term relationship. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Divine Amor Pacheco, who was born this past February.

Pacheco is preparing to defend his WBO International and USWBC super middleweight titles in a 12-round clash against Maciej Sulecki this Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles, California.

The 23-year-old Californian captured the WBO title with a fourth-round knockout of Jack Cullen in March 2023. Since then, Diego Pacheco has successfully defended his title three times, most recently securing a unanimous decision victory over Shawn McCalman in April.

When Diego Pacheco found fresh motivation through fatherhood

During an interview with Boxing Scene in April, Diego Pacheco shared that becoming a father for the first time has ignited an unwavering drive to push his career to new heights.

Pacheco expressed that his entire life has changed, and his focus has shifted from himself to dedicating everything to his daughter and family:

"Before my daughter arrived, I was all boxing, it’s all I lived for and thought about, now it’s more of a balance. Boxing is always going to be here. I’m always going to be a boxer and the fighter that I am destined to be, but now I have a family that depends on me, and I have to be there for them. There are different challenges that come with being a dad. It’s been crazy, it’s a lot to think about, it’s changed the way I think for sure."

He added:

"Every decision I make, I think about her, my family, and my girlfriend. I’m working like never before and that’s never going to happen to change. I have my goals that I am trying to reach in boxing and in life, so it’s added motivation."
