Antonio Margarito got the go signal to return to the boxing arena after he got cleared by the Texas Department of Lisensing and Regulation. As you remember, California Athletic State Commission revoked Margarito's license, along with his trainer Javier Capetillo, after the Commission found evidence that an embedded plastic like substance wraps on Margarito's hands prior to his fight against Shane Mosley last January 2009.
"After a thorough review of his application, it was determined Mr. Margarito met the requirements of the Texas Combative Sports Acts and Rules, " Executive Director William Kuntz said in a statement posted on the department's website.
The reinstatement was made days after his application to fight faced uncertainties in California and Nevada. So, watch out for the coming fight of Pacman and Margarito.
Below is the sched for 3 cities press tour hosted by Bob Arum and HBO. Sales of the tickets for the upcoming fight between Pacquiao vs Margarito will also be announced on the said press tour. (via watchpacquiao.info)
