Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday confirmed that Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. has been deported from the United States back to Mexico, which comes a month after he was arrested in Los Angeles.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested Chávez outside his home in Studio City in July over allegations that he was connected to the notorious Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel.
Chávez was arrested days after he lost to American boxer Jake Paul in Anaheim. The 39-year-old boxer is known for being a former World Boxing Council middleweight world champion.
Sheinbaum confirmed that the boxer was also wanted in Mexico as part of an investigation that began in 2019. The warrant for his arrest was issued in 2023, but he had primarily been in the United States and therefore not arrested by Mexico.
