Pro boxer Joseph “JoJo” Diaz was arrested in Los Angeles on Monday, February 27, on allegations of child neglect.
TMZ reported that the former champ who fought Devin Haney back in 2021, was taken into custody by the Claremont Police Department just before 7 PM. Law enforcement sources said he was booked on a charge of misdemeanor child neglect.
Records also showed he was released on Tuesday afternoon.
The 30-year-old fighter holds a 32-3-1 pro record. He famously won the IBF super featherweight title back in 2020. Diaz went on to fight Haney in 2021 but lost.
