Powerlifting phenom turned professional boxer Stefi Cohen is now making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Known globally for setting world records in strength sports, Cohen’s public image is being tested by a series of legal troubles involving allegations of violence and harassment.
Most recently, she has been accused of assaulting her boyfriend.
On July 1, 2025, the 31-year-old athlete was arrested in Miami and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery.
According to police reports, an argument broke out between Cohen and her live-in boyfriend over a missing phone, which she claimed he had taken.
The confrontation reportedly turned physical, leaving the man with visible scratches on his face, neck, chest, and stomach. Cohen had only a minor scratch when police arrived and was taken into custody.
This incident adds to a growing list of legal issues involving Cohen. In 2022, she allegedly hacked into her ex-boyfriend’s laptop by guessing his password and found explicit images of his new partner.
She is accused of sharing those images in a group chat in what appeared to be an act of revenge.
That case resulted in multiple charges including unauthorized computer access, sexual cyber harassment, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest. She is set to appear in court for that case in August 2025.
Once celebrated for her strength and discipline, Cohen is now under public scrutiny. With more than 25 world records to her name and a promising boxing career underway, her achievements are being overshadowed by serious allegations from her personal life.
What’s Next
As of now, Stefi Cohen has not issued a public statement regarding her latest arrest. With legal proceedings underway, questions are being raised about how these events will affect her future in sports and whether her reputation can withstand the growing controversy.
For now, Stefi Cohen is not just fighting in the ring but also facing the consequences of her actions in court.
