According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, disgraced former welterweight champion, Antonio Margarito will make his return to the ring in Mexico on May 8th against Roberto Garcia.
Maragrito still has not been licensed in the United States following being caught with a Plaster of Paris like substance in his handwraps just before being stopped by Shane Mosley last January in Los Angeles.
“He’ll fight at junior middleweight and then, depending on who he will fight in his next fight, he might get back down to welterweight,” Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said. “Margarito really wants to fight Manny Pacquiao and that would be at welterweight. If the Pacquiao fight isn’t there, he might face the winner of the [June 5] fight between Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto.”
