Undefeated Boxer Arrested on Gun, Theft Charges

A rising boxing star who is undefeated was arrested in Las Vegas last week on two serious charges.

As first reported by TMZ Sports, Floyd Diaz was arrested after Las Vegas Metro Police pulled him over for driving a stolen vehicle. Police had been alerted about the stolen vehicle thanks to a LoJack alert. 

What's more, cops say the 21-year-old was in possession of a gun he was not legally allowed to posses. Diaz was ultimately arrested and booked into Clark County Jail and faces two felony charges: possession of a stolen vehicle and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

If convicted on both charges, he faces up to 10 years in prison. He's due back in court on Friday.

The Las Vegas native, who goes by the moniker "Cashflow," is 13–0 as a bantamweight fighter. His last fight came in September at Madison Square Garden, where he scored a unanimous decision win against Mario Hernandez. The eight-round bout was televised on ESPN and presented by Top Rank.

That victory positioned him as a future contender, which would possibly then lead to a world title shot.

Diaz is listed as 5-foot-5 and weighing 117 pounds. He has yet to comment on his arrest.
