Mayweather's 10-year-old son told police he witnessed his father hitting and kicking 30-year-old Josie Harris during the argument at Harris' home in southwest Las Vegas.

The 33-year-old Mayweather hasn't been charged with domestic battery or assault.

He turned himself in on Friday and was freed from jail on $3 000 bail after being booked on a grand larceny charge over the missing cell phone.

He's due in court November 9.

Mayweather's lawyer, Richard Wright, wasn't available on Monday.

On Friday, he denied wrongdoing on Mayweather's behalf.
