UNITED States boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr has been arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of grand larceny and domestic battery after an ex-girlfriend accused him of beating her in front of their children.
Mayweather, 33, undefeated in 41 bouts and widely regarded as the best defensive fighter of his generation, was jailed in the Clark County Detention Center in lieu of US$3,000 bail, Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell said.
He was initially booked for the alleged theft of a cell phone, but police are urging prosecutors to bring an additional charge of domestic battery based on the complaint of his ex-girlfriend.
Police did not name the woman, but a protective order application she filed identifies her as Josie Harris, with whom the boxer has three children.
Cassell said police were called to the woman's home on Thursday but made no arrests as there was no evidence of a crime. They returned two hours later after the woman called to report she had been battered by Mayweather and that he had stolen her phone.
