Boxer Chavez Jr. was jailed in Mexico after our deportation

Mexico City (Reuters) -Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez JR entered a prison in the Northern Mexico state Sonora after his arrest in the United States in July, the National Arrest Register of Mexico showed Tuesday. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at her daily press conference that the 39-year-old man was deported. She previously said there was a warrant for his arrest on charges of arms trade and organized crime, and that prosecutors were working on the case. The Mexican Attorney General office declined to comment. Chavez Jr., the son of a legendary former world champion boxer Julio Cesar Chavez, was arrested by US immigration authorities shortly after losing in a sold-out match with American influencer Jake Paul. Mexican prosecutors claim to have acted as a henchman for the mighty Sinaloa cartel, which Washington appointed a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year. The lawyer and family of Chavez Jr. rejected the accusations. The National Arrest Register of Mexico showed that the boxer was arrested at a checkpoint at a checkpoint in the Mexican Border City Nonduere at about 11:53 p.m. and transferred to a federal institution in Sonora’s capital Hermosillo. Chavez Jr. wore a black cape and red sneakers. Chavez Jr. won the WBC Middleweight Championship in 2011, but lost the title the following year. His career was overshadowed by controversies, including a suspension after testing positive for a prohibited substance in 2009, and a fine and suspension after testing positive for marijuana in 2013.
