🚨 A Day at EPCOT Turned Violent on the Way Out. A woman says her ex—linked to South Florida’s influencer boxing scene, punched her in the face after leaving EPCOT, leaving her needing stitches.
BAY LAKE, Fla. —
A domestic violence investigation tied to EPCOT has resulted in charges after a woman reported she was attacked by her then-boyfriend following an argument as they left the park.
According to an Orange County Sheriff’s Office warrant affidavit, the victim told deputies that on February 11, 2026, she and her now ex-boyfriend became involved in a verbal dispute while departing EPCOT. The argument continued inside their vehicle.
The victim reported that during the argument, the subject struck her in the face, causing a severe injury to her upper lip. She stated the impact split her lip and caused significant bleeding onto her clothing.
Alleged Attempt to Prevent 911 Call
The victim told deputies she attempted to call 911 following the incident, but the subject allegedly took her phone, preventing her from contacting emergency services. He then continued driving southbound toward Broward County, where both parties reside.
Once they arrived in Broward County, the victim was able to separate from the subject and drove herself to a hospital in Davie for treatment. Medical staff treated her injuries with both internal and external sutures.
No-Contact Order Allegedly Violated
Following the incident, the victim obtained a temporary protection order against the subject. The order was served on April 14, 2026, by Broward County deputies.
However, according to the affidavit, the subject allegedly continued contacting the victim after being served the order. The victim provided investigators with text messages showing continued communication attempts despite being instructed to have no contact.
Victim Cites Subject’s Boxing Background
The victim told deputies she fears for her safety and intends to fully cooperate with prosecution. She stated the subject has a background in boxing, which she believes increases the risk of further harm.
Publicly available information indicates the subject is associated with South Florida’s influencer-style boxing scene, including participation in at least one amateur bout. No verified professional record or official fight statistics were immediately available.
Arrest and Charges
The subject was taken into custody in Broward County on an active warrant related to the case and booked into the Orange County Jail on April 22, 2026.
Authorities are pursuing charges including:
- Battery (Domestic Violence)
- Obstructing/Hindering Communication with 911
- Felony Battery
The case remains under investigation.
