Former Welterweight world champion, Antonio Margarito was denied a boxing license in California by a vote of 5-1.
Margarito claimed he was unaware that he had was turned out to be a plaster like substance in his glove while being taped up for his January, 2009 bout with Shane Mosley in Los Angeles.
The commissioners cited lack of remorse on Margarito’s part as one of the key reasons for denying the former champ the license.
Maragrito did fight in his native Mexico as he scored a unanimous decision over Roberto Garcia on May 8th.
There have been reports that Margarito will fight Manny Pacquiao in Texas on November 13th with Texas willing to give the disgraced fighter an opportunity to fight in their state.
