    Is Yuriokis Still Married After Domestic Violence Case?

    Yuriokis Gamboa was arrested and imprisoned for domestic abuse in 2011 after his wife, Dunia Francisco, accused him of it. Dunia claimed she attempted to flee their Miami home because she believed boxing was betraying her, and Gamboa grabbed the back of her neck and arm when she threatened to take their son with her. Gamboa clarified that he attempted to prevent her from taking his son with her, but not in an abusive manner.

    Though the matter appears to be settled after some time, it seems that the boxer and his wife have not reconciled.
