Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. released from prison in Mexico, awaiting trial over alleged cartel ties Updated 17 mins ago Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. has been released from a prison in northern Mexico.

Chávez’s lawyer has described the claims against his client as “speculation” and “urban legends.” On Sunday, a judge in Hermosillo decided he wouldn't have to remain jailed before the trial but prohibited him from leaving Mexico.
