• Boxer Floyd Diaz was arrested last week in Las Vegas
• A LoJack device alerted police that the car driven by the rising bantamweight was stolen 
• Diaz, a protégé of Floyd Mayweather, faces 10 years in prison for two felonies

Last week, boxer Floyd Diaz fought the law, and guess who won? According to TMZ, which broke the story on Sunday night, Las Vegas police arrested the undefeated bantamweight for gun possession and driving a stolen vehicle.

According to TMZ, the 21-year-old Las Vegas resident and Floyd Mayweather protégé was pulled over after a LoJack alert flagged the vehicle he was driving as stolen. During their traffic stop, officers discovered Diaz was in possession of a concealed firearm, but had no legal permit for it.

Diaz was booked into Clark County Detention Center on possession of a stolen vehicle and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Both are Class C felonies in Nevada, punishable by up to five years in prison each. His bail was set at $10K.

The 5-foot-5, 118-lb. slugger — nicknamed “Cash Flow” and trained by Mayweather since childhood — has a 13-0 record. His last win took place in September at Madison Square Garden, where he clobbered Mario Hernandez by unanimous decision.

That victory made him a ranked WBC bantamweight contender eyeing a 2025–26 shot against champion Junto Nakatani.

He is scheduled to appear before a Clark County judge on Friday.
