Spanish singer Omar Montes requires surgery on his right hand after suffering a complex knuckle fracture during a boxing training session.
The musician revealed the injury in a video posted to his official TikTok account, filmed directly inside a hospital consultation room while receiving results from his doctor. Montes told his followers that he has a fracture in his knuckle and must undergo an operation.
The injury occurred when Montes felt a strange crack in his right hand after landing a punch against an opponent in the ring. He went straight to the hospital for medical evaluation, where emergency doctors confirmed his suspicions of a severe bone fracture.
Medical diagnosis and surgery details
Detailed X-rays and medical examinations later revealed that the injury was far more complicated than a simple break. The attending physician informed Montes that the fracture was not clean and had broken into numerous fragments.
The doctor explained that while the break did not affect the main diaphysis of the bone, it directly impacted the hand joint. He noted that the affected structure was left sunken and collapsed, making surgical intervention necessary to repair the damaged joint.
During the examination, medical staff also uncovered a second, previously undetected issue in the singer's hand. The doctor highlighted the presence of a cyst in the adjacent bone, warning Montes that the area represented a weak point if he intends to continue boxing in the future.
Personal controversy and background
Montes has long expressed a deep passion for boxing, frequently referring to himself as the king of the ring. However, the severe hand trauma will keep him out of athletic competition for an extended period while he recovers from surgery.
The medical emergency comes during a period of intense public attention surrounding Montes. The artist gained widespread media fame as the former partner of Isa Pantoja, making him the former son-in-law of legendary Spanish singer Isabel Pantoja. He has since built a successful career in the music industry, accumulating significant wealth through his recordings and public appearances.
Despite his commercial success, Montes has faced heightened media scrutiny following claims by businesswoman Rocio Munoz, who publicly stated that she is pregnant with his child. Munoz alleged that the pregnancy occurred behind the back of the singer's wife, and she has continued to share updates regarding the upcoming birth, including the sex of the baby.
Montes has declined to address the pregnancy claims directly, attempting to distract his fanbase with lighthearted posts and jokes on social media. While followers had been awaiting a response to the personal scandal, his latest social media updates focused instead on his sudden hospital treatment.
This is not the first time the performer's health updates have drawn public attention. Montes previously posted from a hospital bed after indulging in seafood and cider, and he has also faced criticism over controversial social media remarks. He now awaits a formal date for surgery to repair his hand joint.
