Thomas Hearns, 47, of Southfield is due back in court Friday. The seven-time world champ made a boxing comeback in July.
Thomas Hearns, a seven-time world boxing champion, is expected to go before an Oakland County district judge Friday to respond to charges he assaulted his 13-year-old son Sunday.
Hearns, 47, was arraigned Monday before 46th District Magistrate Eugene Friedman in Southfield 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 the 20500 block of Norwood 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 boy was injured.
Police took Hearns into custody. Hearns could not be reached Tuesday for comment. He is to face District Judge Sheila Johnson on Friday.
A court clerk said Tuesday that Hearns' attorney had not been identified yet in the court file.
Hearns made a boxing comeback in July after five years without a fight, beating John Long with an eighth-round technical knockout in the cruiserweight bout at Cobo Arena.
At the time, Hearns, who boxed out of Detroit's Kronk Gym, said he planned "to keep fighting for a long time." If convicted, he could face up to 93 days in jail.
This sucks....
