Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has been going through a rough patch in his life. Earlier this month, TMZ Sports reported that Chavez Jr. was arrested for possession of an illegal firearm. After being released from prison today, the son of the legendary fighter has finally spoken out about the entire situation.
However, his recent stint with the authorities wasn’t his first. Back in November last year, TMZ Sports reported that Chavez Jr. was taken to a Psych hospital after his wife, Frida Chavez, told authorities Chavez Jr. had taken several pills and might be a danger to himself. However, soon after his recent release, Ricardo Celis shared the first statement from Chavez Jr. on X (formerly Twitter).

Previously, TMZ Sports reported Chavez Jr. was held at the jail in Van Nuys, San Fernando Valley, LA. After his release, Pro Box TV caught up with Chavez Jr, and as per the tweet from Ricardo Celis, Chavez told the reporter, “Everyone has what they deserve, but you know that I am a good person.” The incident happened over the last weekend when a fan informed the authorities that Chavez might be a danger to himself and others.

Following the call from the fan, the Los Angeles police department jumped into action as they visited Chavez Jr.’s home. According to TMZ Sports, Jr. allowed the authorities to enter his home, upon which they found a “ghost gun,” otherwise known as an untraceable firearm. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. also showed concern about his son’s well-being during a podcast back in October 2023.

“I feel sorry for him because his children are little, and he’s not enjoying them. It hurts me that he’s going to go crazy, that he’s going to have an accident driving at 12-1 in the morning at full speed, that he’s going to have a heart attack from all the pills he takes,” said Chavez Sr. The situation is still developing; only time can tell what’s next for Chavez Jr.
