Brazilian authorities are detaining Amanda Carina Barbosa Rodrigues, 23, the wife of former world boxing champion Arturo Gatti as a suspect in his killing.

The 37-year old Gatti was taking a vacation in Brazil and was found dead Saturday in a hotel with strangulation marks.

Homicide experts are investigating. The fight 5'7 brawler had a cult-like following in New Jersey. He was the former IBF super-featherweight, WBC light-welterweight, and WBC junior welterweight champion.
