UFC Champion Israel Adesanya has spoken out about his recent breakup with ex-girlfriend Charlotte Powdrell, who has taken him to court over a portion of his assets. Adesanya, who recently won the middleweight championship, has insisted that his assets are protected, just like Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi.
Hakimi, who is in the middle of divorce proceedings with Spanish actress Hiba Abouk, transferred all his wealth to his mother, meaning Abouk would not be entitled to any of the footballer’s fortunes. Adesanya has followed in Hakimi’s footsteps and secured his assets, despite Powdrell’s claims that their relationship was long enough to warrant access to a portion of his assets.

Adesanya, who was born in Nigeria and is now 33 years old, took to Instagram to speak out about the situation. “Very relatable… Imagine being so fu*ken entitled that you think you deserve what a man has worked his whole life for,” he said in an Instagram story (as quoted by Essentially Sports). “When you came into his life with nothing and tried to leave with millions. But like Achraf Hakimi, my assets are protected. I woulda taken half her sh*t too but I don’t want half of NOTHING.”
The situation between Adesanya and Powdrell has been closely followed by fans and the media alike, with many wondering how the court case will play out. However, Adesanya’s insistence that his assets are protected has put an end to any speculation that Powdrell will be able to access a portion of his wealth.
