BRAZILIAN authorities detained the wife of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti as a suspect yesterday following his death at a posh seaside tourist resort in Brazil.

Police said 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues was taken into custody after contradictions in her interrogation. Gatti's body was found in a hotel room at the Porto de Galinhas resort. The former junior welterweight champion was apparently strangled with the strap of a purse, which was found at the scene with blood stains. The 37-year-old Gatti, whose epic trilogy with Micky Ward branded him one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, retired in 2007 with a career record of 40-9.
