NBC Deportes to Present Revealing Interview with Former Box Julio Cesar Chavez

NBC Deportes presents a revealing interview with former Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez this Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8 at 11:30PM/10:30C on Titulares Telemundo. In the exclusive conversation, the world champion in four categories spoke for the first time at his home with acclaimed journalist Miguel Gurwitz about issues he has never addressed in public before.

Among other topics, the superstar from Ciudad Obregón, Sonora discussed the ups and downs of a career that made him a world boxing great, including his professional association with controversial boxing promoter Don King, whom he described as having "a deal with the devil."

About his problems with addiction and links to the drug trafficking world, Chávez maintained: "I know all the drug lords, but I'm not one of them." In discussing his struggle to put aside drugs and alcohol, which culminated in a suicide attempt, he singled out his wife as his "guardian angel."

Highlights of the interview will also be available on NBCDeportes.com digital platforms following the Sunday edition of "Titulares Telemundo."
