Boxer Chavez Jr. Arrested by ICE Amidst Controversy and Deportation Concerns
Federal officials announced that former middleweight boxing champion Julio César Chávez Jr. was arrested for overstaying his visa and providing false information on a green card application, leading to his deportation to Mexico. The arrest occurred days after his recent match against Jake Paul, despite the Department of Homeland Security determining he should have been arrested before the fight. Chávez also faces an active arrest warrant in Mexico related to organized crime, specifically the trafficking of firearms, ammunition, and explosives, with alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel. The boxer’s attorney has stated the allegations are outrageous.
