Recently, there were headlines in the Russian press that former junior-welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu was interested in making a return to the ring, with WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito as the comeback opponent.
Sergio Diaz, the manager for Margarito, has heard the rumors, and plans to treat them as rumors. There has been no contact to Diaz, or Margarito's promoters, Top Rank, by any representative on behalf of Kostya Tszyu.
"My phone was ringing like crazy. People were asking me what was going on with Antonio fighting Kostya Tszyu. Nobody contacted me about a Kostya Tszyu fight and nobody contacted Top Rank. I was surprised when I heard that he wanted to fight him. He may want to fight Margarito, but nobody has come to us," Diaz said.
