Margarito To Return To WBC Welter Rankings


Disgraced former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito will return to the WBC's rankings after six months of his one year ban has passed, according to WBC members.

Back in February both Margarito and his trainer Javier Capetillo had their licenses revoked by the California State Athletic Commission, after Margarito was found with illegal substances in his hand wraps prior to his January bout with 'Sugar' Shane Mosley.

Despite his year long ban Margarito has been in the gym staying in shape for a return to the ring in September in Mexico where he is allowed to fight.


I won't lie I am outraged not only that the WBC are re ranking this man but also that he only got a 1 year ban. Testimony from Rashard Holloway, who almost had his career ended after being injured sparring Margarito, should have been enough to ensure a longer ban for Margarito.
