More than $4 million worth of cocaine have been seized by U.S. federal agents in Puerto Rico from a house owned by pro boxer Ivan Calderon.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Laila Rico says 225 kilograms of cocaine were found when agents raided the house in the coastal town of Humacao.
Calderon issued a statement Wednesday to WAPA-TV in Puerto Rico denying any knowledge of the drugs. The boxer says the house was one of a number of investment properties he owns and he was not aware of any illegal activities there.
