TAMPA — Former boxing champion Hector "Macho" Camacho was back in jail Friday night — this time in Hills­borough County — charged with violating his probation stemming from a 2007 burglary conviction in Mississippi.

Camacho, 47, won super lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight world titles in the 1980s. His last title bout was against then-welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya in 1997, a loss by unanimous decision.

In 2007, he pleaded guilty to breaking into ZDI Computer Center in Gulfport, Miss. in 2004 and causing $13,000 of damage and loss.

The judge suspended six years of the boxer's seven-year sentence but said that he could end up serving the entire seven years if he violated any of the conditions at sentencing.

Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
