Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. wasn't arrested earlier in Mexico because of his time spent in the U.S. American authorities announced Thursday that Chávez was detained in California for overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application.

The arrest came only days after the former middleweight champion lost a match against influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Frida Chávez was reportedly in a relationship with the deceased son of Sinaloa Cartel's former leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán
