Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Stops Angel Julian Sacco in Fourth Round in Mexico Return

The former WBC champion competed out on bail in Mexico on a case tied to reported cartel allegations.

Overview

  • Chavez Jr. scored a fourth-round stoppage of Argentina’s Angel Julian Sacco at Arena Coliseo in San Luis Potosí after a knockdown from a body shot.
  • The bout was contested at light heavyweight and gave the 39-year-old his first win since defeating Uriah Hall in 2024.
  • The result was reported as improving his professional record to 55-7-1.
  • He boxed after being deported from the United States in 2025 and later released on bail in Mexico following an arrest over alleged Sinaloa Cartel ties, with the case described as pending by reporter Dan Rafael.
  • Sacco entered with a 10-2-1 record, while reaction around Chavez Jr.’s late-career run remains mixed as Shane Mosley previously urged him to retire and his father attended in support.
