Following Julio César Chávez Jr.'s deportation from the United States to Mexico and subsequent imprisonment in a prison in Hermosillo, Sonora, his stepdaughter Frida Sofía Guzmán Muñoz, granddaughter of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, appeared to take to social media to discuss the difficult situation her family is experiencing.
The 19-year-old is the product of the marriage of Édgar Guzmán, the slain eldest son of the drug trafficker, to Frida Muñoz, the current wife of Chávez Jr. Frida Guzmán was not even three years old when her father was gunned down in Mexico.
His mother and stepfather married in 2018 and during their tumultuous marriage, they started a family with two more children, who are currently suffering from the Mexican boxer's arrest.
While neither his wife Frida Muñoz nor his father Julio César Chávez have commented on Chávez Jr.'s deportation, his stepdaughter posted two Bible quotes on her Instagram Stories, seemingly expressing her feelings.
The first, urging hope, appeared to be dedicated to Chávez Jr., who, after spending nearly a month and a half in an ICE detention center in Texas, was deported to Mexico on Monday and formally admitted this Tuesday to the Federal Social Readaptation Center (CEFERESO) No. 11, located in Hermosillo, Sonora.
This is verse 9:23 of the Gospel according to Saint Mark, which says:
"JESUS says if you can believe, to him who believes all things are possible."
The second message was also a Bible verse, with a screenshot from a TikTok account, and was interpreted as an attempt to give her mother strength.
"PROVERBS 16:9
Stop overthinking, if it is God's will, it will happen and nothing will stop it.
If not, God has a better plan.
Have peace knowing this."
Although the Chávez family had hoped that Julio César Chávez Jr., 39, could be released immediately so he could face trial in freedom, Mexican authorities decided to postpone the hearing until Saturday, August 23, so he remains in prison.
The boxer faces charges related to organized crime, arms, ammunition, and explosives trafficking. The accusations relate to Chávez Jr.'s alleged relationship with members of the Sinaloa Cartel.
