The former flyweight and bantamweight champion has been absent since he drew his bout with Emiliano Garcia two and a half years ago, but to "keep himself busy" at home he arranged to "spar", for which he was arrested.

Lopez was arrested last night after an ex-girlfriend accused him of assault. Andrea Ojeda posted photos of her bruised eyes Tuesday morning. Hours later, the former champion was arrested.

"He's an aggressive man who also has a drinking problem. That's why I dumped him. Once he drinks, he becomes a different person," Ojeda stated.
