Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr has been jailed after pleading guilty in connection with domestic violence. Mayweather was given a 90-day prison term after pleading guilty to reduced battery domestic violence and harassment charges.
Las Vegas judge Melissa Saragosa also ordered the 34-year-old to complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,500 (£1,600) fine.
Mayweather's guilty plea avoids a trial on felony allegations that he hit his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris and threatened two of their children during an argument at her home in September 2010.
He was accused of assaulting her after she told him she was seeing another man, and he allegedly reacted by striking her, threatening his children and taking their mobile phones.
Judge Saragosa said the police report stated he had said he would make Harris "disappear".
Mayweather admitted hitting Harris and twisting her arm.
Judge Saragosa said that two of their children, ages nine and 10, also witnessed the attack. Read More
