THEY'RE BOTH KNOCKOUTS

PHOTOS: Out Boxer Orlando Cruz Weds Partner, Posts Honeymoon Pics

996972_588928077842565_726036449_nOrlando Cruz has made sports history again. The 31-year-old featherweight is not only the first professional boxer to come out as gay, he’s also the first to wed his same-sex partner.

The Puerto Rico native tied the marriage knot with longtime boyfriend José Manuel Colón in New York’s Central Park November 16. Cruz proposed to his new hubby last August in the most public way imaginable — by posting a video on his Facebook page.

The morning after, Cruz posted a pair of selfies (doublies?) of the newlyweds along with a note written in Spanish on his Facebook page that read (wobbly translation by Bing):

Good Morning people, giving thanks to my divine father for another day in my life and in the of my now husband Jose Manuel. Thanks to all those people who with their good vibes I decean good and not evil as many but all I leave in the hands of my father divine, my family mu beautiful mother I love you always for being my.
