Ricky previously sparked romance rumours with another Playboy model, Carla Howe, a few years ago.
MailOnline has contacted Ricky’s representatives for comment.
Last year, Ricky went public with his new beauty therapist girlfriend as the couple enjoyed a romantic getaway in Dublin.
The former boxer took to Instagram to share a slew of loved-up snaps with his new partner Angela Blemmings, who owns EyeCandy beauty salon in Stalybridge.
The pair appeared in high spirits as they consumed several pints of Guinness, while trying out a few pubs in the area.
Angela went Instagram official with Ricky on June 30 when she shared a cosy selfie of the two of them and captioned it: ‘Lovely afternoon with the best company.’
Ricky split from his ex girlfriend Marie Pollard in May, less than a year after getting back together.
The former world champ first dated glam Marie back in 2016 but the pair decided to give things a go again last year.

‘When I retired I was sat there with nothing to do and my world fell apart a little bit. It’s all about keeping busy and doing things that are positive and new adventures!’
He also said: ‘I can dance on the solid floor but I don’t know how I’ll do on the dance floor. It’s more about being disciplined and about believing in yourself.
‘New adventures don’t come more than Dancing On Ice. It is a challenge and with boxing. it is a balance.
‘You remember dance sequencing and moves and in boxing, you do a little bit, remembering combinations and stuff like that. I should have the attributes to do pretty well.’
