Judah's Promotional Beef May Squash Margarito

Published

The potential bout between former welterweight champions Zab Judah and Antonio Margarito is in possible jeopardy due to Judah publicly proclaiming his status as a free agent.

According to Russ Young, co-owner of Prize Fight Boxing, Judah is still under a legally-binding contract with his company. Young and his partner/brother Brian Young, recently met Margarito's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, who reviewed Prize Fight's contract with Judah. After concluding that Young's company has Judah under a valid contract, Arum assured Young that a fight Judah and Margarito would not move forward unless his company was involved.

After Terence Crawford Feud, Are Sanctioning Bodies Bad For Boxing?

In today’s episode, the crew breaks down one of boxing’s biggest debates after Terence Crawford went on his Instagram to complain about the WBC. Are sanctioning bodies simply part of the game, or have they completely lost control of the sport? We also take a hard look at the Ring title and ask whether it can still be considered legitimate if champions are not required to defend it.

"We met with Arum last week on Wednesday in New York City. Arum reviewed the contract that Prize Fight has with Judah. Arum stated that is was conclusive that Prize Fight does in fact have legally binding contract with Judah and there will be no fight unless it's with Prize Fight," Young said.

Should Judah fall out, don't be surprised if IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron becomes the secondary option for Margarito. The fight Margarito-Judah clash was in the process of landing on May 3 with Showtime televising, but plans appear to changing with the recent announcement of Oscar De La Hoya fighting on the same day on regular HBO.

im sure paul williams is not scared of tony. and cotto is neither. LOL at your avatar! You say you dont care what people say but its very obvious you do because you feel the need to have to change your avatar. lol this guy is funny. Let me try to brag about my girl on internet boards. I could put a picture up of me and my girl which is extremely hot but im not going to do that, plus there's some of us in my ultimate warrior thread, but boasting about her had nothing to do with them being up. But that guy was right.....you still look gay lol

This is pretty bull ****. So now every time judah loses its not because the other fighter beat him it's because judah's mind wasnt right? lmao that explain the mayweather loss :smashfrea once again lmao. What happen in the zu fight??? did he lose his mind there too??? quit making excuses for judah. Ability isn't **** is going out there and fighting and beating your opponent. for now on every fighter when they lose should just say oh i didnt show up my mind wasnt right. he just wont get the fact the judah *****.
