Stefi Cohen is the victim of ‘extortion’ and ‘abuse’ at the hands of an illegal immigrant, her boyfriend Tristan Hamm has claimed after a domestic violence charge against the professional boxer and influencer was dropped.
Cohen – full name Stefanie Cohen Magarici – was arrested on July 2 amid allegations she assaulted her boyfriend at their Miami-area home.
But on Wednesday, TMZ reported that prosecutors dismissed the case after Hamm refused to cooperate. And he told TMZ that Cohen is, in fact, the victim of a ‘bigger’ crime.
‘This was a complete misunderstanding, neither party called the police, and yet an arrest was made,’ Hamm said.
‘What’s really happening here is bigger: Stefanie is being extorted by an illegal immigrant who defrauded her and her employees for years and is now manipulating the legal system to continue that abuse.
‘This arrest only gained traction because of two bogus cases tied to the same individual, which distorted the perception of the officers. She’s innocent, plain and simple. Her case being dismissed today is proof of this.

‘What we’re dealing with is a calculated scheme to defame her and defraud her as well as the media and millions of Americans in an attempt to cover up his immigration and financial scheme. And it’s finally coming to light.’
Hamm did not provide more specific details on the alleged extortion or abuse in his statement on Wednesday.
But TMZ quoted an internal memo in which prosecutors explained why the domestic violence case had been dropped.
‘In order to prove this crime, the State must show that the defendant actually and intentionally touched or struck the victim against his will,’ it read.
‘The State is unable to satisfy this element without a testifying victim or witness. There are no other known witnesses or evidence to this case. As such, the State does not have a good faith basis upon which to file charges and took no action at arraignment on 7.23.25.’
