Late Boxer Planned to File for Divorce

The Montreal Gazette reports former welterweight champion Arturo Gatti consulted a divorce lawyer two months before his suspicious death – a tragedy that would set his widow up with a $3.4-million inheritance.

According to the Montreal Gazette “Last week, Gatti’s childhood friend, Antonio Rizzo, testified that Gatti asked him for help finding a divorce lawyer. Rizzo told court Gatti had been “sucker-punched” by wife Rodrigues and complained that his wife was pushing him to change his will.”
