He posted a picture on Instagram with the caption: Another W for the books!!' gushed the upstart boxer, who added: "I wanna thank my coaches, my team, and my Bredwinners family for pushing me to be my best in and out of the ring. I got some good people by my side."

But some fans were unhappy that Popper didn't add Madonna's name to his vote of thanks. The inquisitive fans took to the comment section to ask about Madonna, but he did not reply.

Could It Be A One-Sided Love?

The fitness coach only tagged the Powerhouse singer without mentioning the connection or kind of relationship that exists between them, let alone why she was joining him at a gym.

Popper, unlike Madonna, loves a private relationship away from the public eye, and fans' opinions.
