Omayra and Mario have welcomed their first child[/caption]Pacquiao v Thurman weigh-in incident
She gained widespread attention in July 2019 during a weigh-in event for her brother Omar Figueroa Jr v Yordenis Ugas.
Her presence unexpectedly became the main attraction.
Media coverage, including that of the Mayweather channel, focused heavily on her outfit, even zooming in on her and excluding the fighters from view.
Omayra addressed the incident in a video she made a few days later, stating: “I didn’t do it on purpose. It was nothing planned. I didn’t even do anything on stage…
“I know a lot of people started judging me, because I’m a female and I’m in the boxing scene, I train my brother…”
She added: “And the outfit, it’s not a jumpsuit, by the way. It’s leggings and a crop top from Gym Shark, which is a fitness apparel brand…
“I did not wear that on purpose, I was in there all week for my brother and I literally packed just gym clothes.
“I don’t know if it is because I’m a female and it is boxing scene and it’s usually surrounded by men.
“So, I don’t know if that was shocking to people or if it was just that I am Omar’s sister, or just I was on stage, or who is she?”
