FORMER world title boxing contender Howard Eastman was arrested and taken to court on Friday for owing $276,000 in affiliation fees (Child Support).

The money is owed for the maintenance of a  child birthed to  Ms Yuless Grosvenor, who shared a common- law relationship with the once internationally recognised boxer.
Eastman appeared in the New Amsterdam Magistrates Court before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, after he was arrested for not paying the weekly sums of $3,000 as agreed .
In court, Eastman told the magistrate that he had no money to pay.
However, Grosvenor, who was also present in court, said she had $50,000 to pay for him. She later disclosed that the two had since reconciled and had a second son.
Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus told the former boxing champion that he had to honour the court order which was made on August 15, 2012.
Eastman, who had not paid the affiliation fees for 92 weeks, is expected to return to the Reliance Magistrates Court on January 14.
The boxer, a former British Middleweight and Commonwealth Middleweight Champion who was dressed in a black suit, whispered softly “thank you” to the magistrate before exiting the courtroom.
