A Mexican judge on Saturday said Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. would go on trial for accusations of having cartel ties but could await that trial outside of detention, the boxer's lawyer said.

Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. has been deported to Mexico following his arrest in the U.S. for overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application.
