Gamboa under arrest in Cuba after fatal crash

Details are still being finalized, but several media outlets report that the former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa is currently behind bars in connection with a fatal accident that occurred on the night of December 31 in Santiago de Cuba in Cuba. Sources close to the situation report that the Olympic champion allegedly ran into a pedestrian on a section of the road without lighting. Gamboa was not intoxicated, and the situation is just a tragic accident.

“Legal steps are already being taken to help Gamboa, although many details remain to be clarified,” El Nuevo Herald quoted a source as saying. - We want to clarify that Gamboa was not under the influence of alcohol or any other prohibited substances. Gamboa is a very religious person and doesn't drink alcohol or anything like that."

Gamboa, 41, has not entered the ring since losing to Isaac Cruz on April 16 last year.
