Junkie Drawer: Jermell Charlo arrested; Amanda Serrano to fight on Jake Paul card
Jermell Charlo was arrested Saturday in Texas on misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member whose name was not released, reported ESPN, which cited police sources.
The 154-pound champion was released on bond Monday.
Charlo’s wife, Chyane Westbrook, filed for a temporary restraining order and divorce from Charlo on Tuesday, according to the sports news outlet.
Charlo went to trial in 2018 on felony domestic violent charges after he allegedly choked his then-girlfriend. He was acquited.
SERRANO’S NEXT FIGHT SET
Unified 126-pound champion Amanda Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs) is scheduled to return to her native Puerto Rico to defend her titles against mandatory challenger Nina Meinke (18-3, 4 KOs) on March 2, according to a news release.
Serrano, a seven-division titleholder, hasn’t fought in the country of her birth since March 2021.
YouTuber-turned-boxer and Serrano’s promoter Jake Paul will fight in the main event at Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan. No opponent for Paul (8-1, 5 KOs) was announced.
He’s coming off a first-round knockout of Andre August on Dec. 15.
