It’s a given that Jermain Taylor can forget about returning to a boxing ring.

The lingering question now is he will ever again see the light of day.

Less than 12 hours after posting bail following Monday’s arrest in his Little Rock (Ark.) hometown, a warrant has now been issued for Taylor to turn himself back in to authorities, according to local TV station KHTV-11 . The basis for the warrant is that his latest arrest is being classified as a felony, a violation of the bond conditions from a previous arrest last summer.

Taylor has 24 hours to surrender to Pulaski County authorities.

Taylor also posted a VERY bizarre video on Facebook, which he later removed.

The latest bizarre incident – in which Taylor was arrested for battery, aggravated assault, possession of marijuana and endangering a minor – appeared before a Little Rock judge, who showed no leniency or sympathy towards his celebrity status.

Taylor was released on $50,000 bond at roughly 12:30p.m. local time Tuesday afternoon. His next court hearing is scheduled for March 20.

The pending case is separate from charges filed last summer, in which Taylor was arrested and now awaiting trial for an Aug. 26 shooting incident involving his cousin in his Little Rock home. That court case is scheduled for June 23, with pre-trial hearings slated for May 29.

Despite the initial case looming overhead, Taylor – freed on bond at the time – was permitted to go through with an October 8 middleweight title fight versus Sam Soliman in Biloxi, Mississippi. Taylor won the fight via 12-round decision to reclaim a middleweight belt, having served as the division’s World lineal champion from 2005 to 2007.

His first defense was to come versus former 154 lb. titlist Sergio Mora on February 6, also in Biloxi. The bout was scratched following Taylor’s arrest on Monday, with promoter Lou DiBella declaring that all bets are off regarding his boxing career and that serious psychological help is in order.

Such health concerns were raised when Taylor was reissued a boxing license in 2011.

The former middleweight king had suffered four losses in the span of five fights, including three vicious knockouts. The last – a 12th round stoppage loss to Arthur Abraham in Oct. ’09 – resulted in Taylor suffering a brain bleed, prompting an automatic revocation of his boxing license and withdrawal from the Showtime Super Six World Boxing Classic super middleweight tournament.

Taylor was also involved in a domestic incident outside of his home last Christmas Eve, where he threw a brick through the car window of a female acquaintance . Both parties filed charges against one another; neither party was arrested for the incident.

Mora will remain on the February 6 show, with a new opponent being sought for the ESPN2 Friday Night Fights-televised event.
