Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr facing deportation from US after ICE arrest

France 242 days ago
U.S. immigration authorities have arrested Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in Los Angeles and plan to deport him, they said on Thursday, just days after he lost a high-profile bout to American rival Jake Paul. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Chavez was determined to be in the country illegally last week after he made fraudulent statements on a 2024 application for permanent residence. He is married to a U.S. citizen, it said. Michael Goldstein, a lawyer for Chavez, said more than two dozen immigration agents arrested the boxer at his home in the Studio City area of Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Messi returns to MLS with spectacular double in Inter victory

Miami were playing their first MLS game in more than a month. They had advanced past the first phase of the Club World Cup but fell 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 last week. Messi made sure there was no lingering let-down for Javier Mascherano's side, who are aiming to improve on their curent sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 32 points from 17 matches. "It is a great night, we took the three points that were very necessary to start thinking about the MLS again," Mascherano said. "It is never easy to reintegrate into the competition after the Club World Cup, and the players have done it perfectly." Messi was a key figure throughout, although it was his miscue that led to the first goal for Montreal. His backpass fell right in front of Montreal's Prince Owusu, who fired a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Oscar Ustari to make it 1-0 after two minutes. Messi more than atoned. In the 33rd minute, Messi found Tadeo Allende outside the area and Allende chipped a shot over Montreal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirios. In the 40th minute Messi conjured his trademark magic, cutting in from the right corner of the box, eluding Fernando Alvarez and curling the ball in at the far post for a goal that gave Miami a 2-1 halftime lead. Telasco Segovia made it 3-1 in the 60th minute with a blast from outside the area that hit the crossbar and bounced into the net. Messi bagged his second goal two minutes later, evading four defenders and finishing an outstanding solo run with a shot into the heart of the goal. Messi now has seven goals in his last four MLS matches, bringing his total to 12 in 14 games. "Leo is happy playing football," Mascherano said. "Every time he is fit, he is going to play. Clearly we have an extra advantage when he plays and we want to use that advantage as much as possible."

Jefferson-Wooden tops Alfred in Eugene 100m

Jefferson-Wooden handed Paris Olympics gold medallist Alfred her first defeat of 2025 with a victory in 10.75sec. That was just outside her world-leading 10.73 set at the Philadelphia Grand Slam Track meeting, but it was more than impressive in a headwind of -1.5 meters per second. The 24-year-old American, who took 100m bronze in Paris behind Saint Lucia's Alfred and American Sha'Carri Richardson, said it was another good stepping stone ahead of the upcoming US championships in Eugene -- the selection meet for the World Championships in Tokyo September 13-21. "I'm happy to see that out here today, knowing that I'm going to come out here three weeks later and try to do the same thing and more," she said. "I've been saying it time and time again, I'm here to stay. The goal is not just to be in these races, but to go out there and compete, execute, dominate and win." Jefferson-Wooden was out of the blocks first and withstood a midrace challenge from Alfred, who finished second in 10.77. Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith was third in 10.90 while Richardson, the reigning 100m world champion, was ninth in 11.19 as she battles to get her season on track after an injury in February. "The only motivation that I had today was having a healthy race," said Richardson, who made a slight improvement on the 11.47sec she ran in Tokyo in May in her only prior race this season. "I prayed for a healthy race, and I got a healthy race, so I accept that," said Richardson. "All I have to do is just keep pushing and focusing in our practice, so I'm super excited to just finish." Richardson has a bye into the 100m in Tokyo as the defending world champion, but she said this week that at the US championships she will also try to punch her ticket to Tokyo in the 200m. "I will spend these next weeks just working on speed, endurance, and knowing that when I come back here to the magic stadium I'm going to be at my fullest -- more confident and not executing just a healthy race but a speedy race, too," she said. "I believe in the fact that no matter what I do, when I am 100 percent there's nothing that can really stop me but me," Richardson said.
