The widow of boxer Arturo Gatti has been awarded $100,000 from his
estate by a Quebec Superior Court judge, nine months after his
death.
Amanda Rodrigues received the money as financial compensation
for the legal fees she was forced to pay following the former
boxing champion's death.
In the court judgment Thursday, she also received $2,000 a
month for the couple's 18-month-old son.
In November, a Quebec judge awarded Rodrigues $40,000 to
cover legal fees and child care costs. Rodrigues' claim to her
husband's estate was being contested by the former fighter's mother
and brother.
Gatti was found dead under mysterious circumstances at a posh
Brazilian seaside resort in July.
