Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.’s location unknown as boxer misses court date unrelated to ICE arrest

Boxer Julio Cesar Chávez Jr.’s location is unknown following his arrest by ICE last week, days after he fought influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Anaheim, California. 

Chávez Jr. had been slated to appear in court on Monday in order to seek early release pertaining to a pretrial diversion program related to gun charges that were brought against him in 2024, but he did not appear and his attorney, Michael Goldstein, said he didn’t know where the boxer was, USA Today reported. 

“We have no idea. We have no information, unfortunately,” Goldstein told the outlet when asked if Chávez Jr. was still in the United States.
