Police have confirmed the incident, with Schwarz said to have punched a 26-year-old woman on May 31 in Lostau, Germany.
Schwarz is yet to comment on the claims.
But on Friday morning, Schwarz’s Instagram account had been set to private and all posts deleted.
His old gym, SES, have also released a statement saying they’ve suspended Schwarz and blocked his access to the training facilities.
Spokesperson Christof Hawekamp told BILD: “After the first information about this process, we immediately suspended Schwarz and blocked his access to the training gym.
“This applies until the incident is finally clarified. We reserve the right to take further measures.
“It is also important that we expressly distance ourselves from all forms of violence.”
