Zab Judah Charged with Domestic Violence ... Allegedly Roughed Up Wife
More trouble for ex-boxing champ Zab Judah -- he's been charged with domestic violence for allegedly getting violent with his wife while drunk ... TMZ Sports has learned.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the Las Vegas Metro PD was called to Judah's home around 3 AM on July 26 for a domestic disturbance.
Cops made contact with Zab -- who said he got into an argument with his wife after she destroyed "all of his clothes" because she was jealous of an unknown woman claiming she had a baby with Zab.
Zab was adamant he did not touch his wife.
But Zab's wife and sister told cops a different story -- claiming the boxer had been drinking and pushed her to the ground by her face ... causing her to hit the floor hard.
According to the police report, the responding officer did not notice any injuries on the woman -- but said she kept touching her face as if she was in pain.
Judah was eventually arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery/domestic violence. He's due back in court next month.
This is just the latest legal issue for Judah -- who's still dealing with a 2014 DUI arrest ... and was also involved in a bizarre crash back in January where he gave a fake name and appeared drunk.

Playmate Ashley Mattingly Arrested for Drunken Joyride
Former Playmate Ashley Mattingly was arrested for suspicion of DUI after allegedly plowing her golf cart into 4 parked cars, but she's not willing to accept blame.
