The painful words of Julio Cesar Chavez
“It has been very difficult because I always fought against my addiction. Unfortunately, my children followed their father’s patterns and for me it has been very difficult. Having my son Julio in a recovery center for me is very sad. Whenever I talk about them I cry because I know they are going through very sad and difficult times, but I will always be there to help them, to save their lives,” said Julio Cesar Chavez.
During the talk with ESPN journalists who celebrated his 60 years of life, the former Mexican boxer acknowledged that these last 13 years, in which he has not consumed drugs, have been the best, because he is perfectly aware of everything, and he does not want his children to go through a complicated moment.
The declining career of Julio César Chávez Jr.
Since his defeat against Saúl Canelo Álvarez in May 2017, Julio César Chávez Jr.’s career experienced several inconsistencies in his performance and results. The six fights he had since then were accompanied by brief intervals in which he underwent rehabilitation therapies to, supposedly, overcome the drug addiction problem that close relatives have attributed to him on several occasions.
“It has been complicated, very difficult. For example, now having my son Julio in a recovery center is very sad for me. Whenever I talk about it, I cry, because I know he is going through very sad moments, very difficult”, said Julio Cesar Chavez.
