MONTREAL - 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.
She also received $2,000 a month in alimony for the couple's 18-month-old son in the court judgement Thursday.
Rodrigues' claim to her husband's estate is being contested by the former fighter's mother and brother.
In November, a Quebec judge awarded Rodrigues Arturo Gatti $40,000 to cover legal fees and child care costs.
Gatti was found dead under mysterious circumstances at a posh Brazilian seaside resort last July.
