Broward County Drops Domestic Violence Case Against Jairzinho Rozenstruik

Prosecutors ended the case after the alleged victim declined to give a sworn statement.

Overview

  • Court records show prosecutors dismissed a felony false-imprisonment count and a misdemeanor battery charge on March 6, closing the case.
  • The district attorney cited the absence of a sworn victim statement and noted conflicting accounts that undercut any reasonable likelihood of conviction.
  • In late January, the woman identified as his wife asked the court to drop the matter and any protection order, describing the incident as out of the ordinary and saying she was not in fear.
  • The January police report detailed allegations of slapping, grabbing, and a bite to the right bicep, with officers documenting visible injuries and describing Rozenstruik as uncooperative.
  • Rozenstruik, 37, was arrested in Pembroke Pines, released on bail after an immigration hold, has not publicly commented, and remains the Dirty Boxing Championship heavyweight titleholder.
