NEW YORK, July 26 (UPI) -- Former welterweight champion Zab Judah was arrested on a Family Court warrant after a celebrity basketball game in New York.
Judah was held overnight at a police station after his arrest at Madison Square Garden and then appeared in Queens Family Court on Monday, the New York Post reported.
Police would not give details about the warrant, saying only that it involved a "financial dispute."
Bruce Silverglade of Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn defended Judah.
"I've known Zab his whole life," Silverglade told the Post. "He's trained here since he was 7 years old. He's a really good guy. He doesn't get into trouble -- he likes women, and he's had some kids, but that doesn't make you a bad person."
Judah was fined $250,000 after a Nevada bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr., the current welterweight champion, ended in a brawl. He received a six-month suspension and $75,000 fine for throwing a stool.
