Information continues to roll in regarding Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.’s recent arrest by ICE and it’s not looking good for the former world champion boxer.
Chavez Jr., who is coming off a loss to Jake Paul in a boxing match last weekend (results HERE), was arrested by ICE earlier this week and will be deported back to Mexico due in part to alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel. Fight fans were pretty shocked to learn of the news considering Chavez Jr. had just fought Paul two days prior to his arrest.

According to an investigation by the Mexican Attorney General’s Office (FGR) that was revealed on Friday by Mexican newspaper Reforma (via Marca), Chavez Jr. was more than just an “affiliate” for the Sinaloa Cartel. In fact, FGR’s investigation discovered that Chavez Jr. was allegedly a “henchman” for the well-known Mexican crime syndicate.
Per the report, one of the leading members of the Sinaloa Cartel, “El Nini,” ordered Chavez Jr. to beat up subordinates who made mistakes that could expose the cartel. During a six-month wiretap from Dec. 2021 to June 2021, authorities uncovered some disturbing details regarding Chavez Jr.’s potential involvement. See below:
“During this period, they explained how one of the cartel members took a girlfriend to a safe house where there were kidnapped people and a warehouse with weapons. There he saw how ‘El Nini’ ordered his subordinate to be tied up and hung like a punching bag for Chavez Jr. to hit him.”
