According to a report by Tijuana newspaper Frontera, the California State Athletic Comission is willing to reinstate the boxing license of Antonio Margarito if he is willing to repent and show remorse for his attempt to use illegal handwraps in his last bout against Shane Mosley last year. Margarito lost the bout and his WBA welterweight title by KO.
“Next week we have a hearing, on February 22nd but Mr. Margarito must solicit for an appearance in front of the comission and for it to be scheduled in the agenda ten days prior,” George Dodd, the new executive director of the CSAC, stated. “As of right now, that would be impossible, our next meeting is in April.”
The Association of Boxing Comissions advised the state of Texas, where it was rumored that Margarito would make his return on the under card of Pacquiao-Clottey, to not license the “Tijuana Tornado” until he appeared before the California comission and ask for forgiveness.
“The comission could stretch the suspension if Margarito doesn’t appear to show remorse,” Dodd said. “We need to hear him out.”
