As Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. remains under investigation for drug-trafficking related charges allegedly linking him to the Sinaloa Cartel, his father, former world champion Julio César Chávez, has continuously made public appearances denying any claims that his son is involved in drug trafficking or organized crime.
In a recent interview, Chávez Sr. said his son was pressured to hit a man at the request of individuals allegedly linked to the Sinaloa Cartel, reportedly from the faction led by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, known as Los Chapitos.
