Puerto Rican police are investigating an alleged fight between WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and his trainer, Evangelista Cotto — who is the champ's uncle.
The two have had a rocky relationship in the past, but on Wednesday a heated argument over training methods led to punches being exchanged, according to a police statement.
ESPN's Dan Rafael says the incident didn't end at the gym in Cotto's hometown of Caguas either.
"Cotto-Cotto II took place with Evangelista throwing a cement brick at Miguel. It missed, but crashed through the window of his 2009 Jaguar. The men came to blows for a second time, this time with other family members there to try to break them up. Evangelista had to go to the hospital for treatment for an undisclosed injury," Rafael reports.
