Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr could be released from a jail in northern Mexico in the coming days as he awaits trial for alleged cartel ties, his lawyer said this weekend.
Attorney Ruben Fernando Benitez told local media that a judge in the city of Hermosillo, Sonora state, ruled on Saturday that the 39-year-old former champion could be processed for release following his arrest last week. He argued prosecutors lacked evidence to support the charges. “There is no evidence,” Benitez said after Judge Enrique Hernandez Miranda’s decision.
Chavez Jr., son of the legendary former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez, was detained by U.S. immigration authorities in July shortly after losing a sold-out fight to American influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Mexican prosecutors allege Chavez Jr. acted as a henchman for the Sinaloa Cartel, which the United States designated a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year. His lawyer and family have denied the accusations.
President Claudia Sheinbaum previously said Chavez Jr. was expected to face charges of arms trafficking and organized crime, confirming that prosecutors were working on the case.
