The old Chávez spoke with the Mexican media about his son.
“It’s complicated, we talk a lot, but we are calm because we know my son’s innocence,” El Haldo told the newspaper. “My son will be all you want, anything, but he is not a criminal and less everything that is being accused.”
An investigation into the youngest boxer began in 2019 after a complaint filed by the United States against the Sinaloa cartel for organized crime, human trafficking, arms trafficking and drug trafficking, said the Attorney General of Mexico, Alejandro Gertz Manero on Sunday.

Chávez Jr. lawyers requested at least five mandates in Mexico, but all were rejected because the boxer was in the United States, said Gertz Manero.
“He knows many people, we live in Culiacán, it would be impossible not to meet all the people who are doing illicit things, but that means nothing,” said Chávez Mr. “in my time I met everyone, and they didn’t come behind me.”
He promised that his son will fight against the chargers if he transferred to Mexico.
Chávez Jr. was arrested days after he lost to Jake Paul in a boxing fight.

“Why did they let him fight? My son has been paying taxes in the United States for three years, and now in Mexico they accuse him of money laundering,” added Elder Chávez. “Yes, he knows those people, but that does not mean that I am a drug trafficker. Let’s trust the law.”
