By Tim Fletcher: 37-year-old former IBF/WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (38-8, 27 KOs) will be staging a comeback to the sport after four years in retirement. Margarito reportedly went through a costly divorce, according to ESPN, and he’s got the desire to restart his career.
Whether his interest in coming back to boxing is related to his divorce is unclear. Margarito wants to go back with his old promoter 83-year-old Bob Arum of Top Rank. However, Margarito is asking for a lot of money for his initial comeback fights, and they’re going to need to agree on a different price for him if he’s to sign on with Top Rank.
