Professional boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who just days ago lost to Jake Paul in a pay-per-view bout in Anaheim, has been arrested in Studio City and will be deported to his native Mexico.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has been detained on a federal arrest warrant less than one week after his loss to Jake Paul. In a statement issued Thursday by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it was announced ICE has detained the boxer and is processing him for expedited removal from the U.S.

DHS said it had deemed the prominent middleweight a "public safety threat" for his alleged links to the Sinaloa cartel.
