DETROIT, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Thomas "Hitman" Hearns, a seven-time world boxing champion, is facing charges for allegedly assaulting his 13-year-old son.
The Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday that Hearns, 47, is expected to go before an Oakland County district judge Friday.
Hearns was arraigned Monday and charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. He was released on $10,000 personal bond and ordered to have no contact with his son.
Police arrived at Hearns' house in Southfield about 6:45 p.m. Sunday after receiving a call from Hearns' wife, who said there had been a domestic dispute.
The teenage boy had a swollen eye and a small cut on his chin, Southfield Police Detective John Harris said.
Harris said Hearns apparently told the boy to go to another room, the teen refused and there was a scuffle. But Harris said Hearns and his wife gave slightly different accounts of how the incident.
If convicted, Hearns could face up to 93 days in jail, the newspaper said.
