“I have not seen such news but I have been told that I had a detached retina and that I am going to retire,” Margarito said. “But those are just speculations. My retina is not detached. I have an appointment with Bob Arum’s doctor on Thursday. I am in the doctor’s hands. The only thing is, I cannot fight in September (the planned date for Margarito’s rematch with Miguel Cotto) because the doctor has not given me the green light and this is why I am going to see the specialist.
“100-percent, there is no retinal damage. I keep training. I have been sparring because the doctor said, ‘ok, start your sparring.’ Everything is fine with my eye.”
Margarito went on to say that although he is not in any way planning on retiring any time soon, he has to wait for the “green light” from the specialist he will visit with on Thursday before he can say for sure where his future lies.
