Boxing Icon Julio Cesar Chavez Stands Firm for Son Amid Allegations of Cartel Links and Legal Troubles in US and Mexico

Boxing icon Julio César Chávez has come out strongly in defense of his son, Julio César Chávez Jr., amid aggressive arrest warrants issued by U.S. immigration authorities and Mexican officials. Chávez Jr. faces charges in the U.S. for overstaying his visa and providing false information on a green card application, while Mexican authorities are seeking his arrest for alleged involvement in drug and arms trafficking connected to the Sinaloa cartel. Chávez Sr. insisted to Mexico’s El Heraldo newspaper that although his son may have flaws, he is not a criminal and firmly believes in his innocence.

The Department of Homeland Security reportedly applied for Chávez Jr.’s legal permanent residency after his B2 visa expired in April 2024, but U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Customs Enforcement flagged him for immigration enforcement. Despite this, he was allowed entry back into the U.S. in January 2024 after the Biden administration deprioritized his case.

There are allegations linking Chávez Jr. to the Sinaloa cartel through his marriage, as his wife previously had ties to the late son of cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán. Chávez Sr. acknowledged that given their residence in Culiacán, it’s nearly impossible not to know anyone involved in illegal activities but emphasized that his son means nothing to those circles. He also questioned the timing of the arrest, which came shortly after Chávez Jr.’s June 28th fight loss against Jake Paul, calling the accusations of money laundering in Mexico unfounded. Chávez Sr. noted his son has been paying U.S. taxes for three years and urged faith in the judicial process.

Chávez Jr. was notably absent from a scheduled court appearance in Los Angeles concerning a January 2024 gun charge pretrial diversion program.

Fan Take: This unfolding situation is a stark reminder of the challenges boxers face outside the ring, impacting their careers and legacies. For fight fans, Chávez Jr.’s legal troubles cloud what could have been a promising path back in the sport, showing how personal issues off the canvas can dramatically influence the boxing world.
