Chávez Jr. was sent to Mexico, where he’s wanted for alleged cartel ties, following his arrest in the U.S. for overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application.

The former WBC middleweight champion and recent Jake Paul opponent was immediately arrested and jailed in Sonora on Monday.

The fighter, arrested by U.S. agents last month shortly after a loss to Jake Paul, was sent to his native Mexico, where a warrant for his arrest has been outstanding since 2023.
