MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez said on Friday he had been mugged by armed robbers in Mexico City, and he slammed mounting violence that has recently plagued the capital.
"I've just been the victim of a robbery, with a pistol to my head, my watch and chain were snatched. There's no question your life can be gone in a second," the 57-year-old Chavez wrote on Twitter. "The insecurity in Mexico City is enough to make you weep."
