Documents revealed by the aforementioned media detail the seriousness of the injuries suffered by the man and that he presented with evidence in court handling the case. The file issued by the authorities reveals that Charlo has a criminal record, so this fact is considered an aggravating circumstance.
Around the 11: 00 hours PT the arrest warrant was issued against the boxer. ESPN reported that bail was set at $10,000.
The boxer of 31 years occupies the first place in the ESPN ranking in the category 160 pounds. He is also the Interim World Boxing Council Middleweight Champion.
