Retired former boxing champion Arturo Gatti died last Saturday and his wife Amanda Rodriguez Gatti is the main suspect and is now detained by police.
Arturo was found dead Saturday in a rented condo in a resort area in Northeast Brazil. Authorities believe that the boxer was first struck in the back of his head and then strangled with a purse strap.
Police also claim the body may have been dead for almost 10 hours before receiving the emergency call.
Amanda Gatti denies any connection to the murder and has blamed a third party.
The police suspect the third party claim saying it would be almost impossible because the couple were on the second floor with a key card security system with only one window.
Former world champion Acelino Freitas, of Brazil, said he thought the two were having marital problems for sometime.
