Celestino Caballero, a former WBA and IBF World super bantamweight champion and former WBA World featherweight champion, was arrested today after a traffic stop in Panama City. According to news reports, 10 kilos of cocaine with an estimated street value of $600,000 in U.S. dollars were found in his vehicle. Caballero was driving alone in a Toyota Corolla and reportedly headed to his hometown of Colon City.
The rail-thin 5'11" Caballero first attracted notice in 2005 when he upset then-undefeated Daniel Ponce De Leon, a future WBO world titlist. Four fights later he won the WBA super bantamweight title with a third round knockout of Somsak Sithchatchawal in Thailand. He retired in November of 2014 with a detached retina, leaving with a record of 37-6 (24).
Late in his career, Caballero changed promoters, hooking up with the team of Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Now 41 years old, he was affiliated with the WBA in an administrative post at the time of his arrest and was planning on a career as a boxing referee. He is regarded as one of only two Panamanians to hold a unified title, the other being the legendary Roberto Duran.
