Antonio Margarito is Very Upset With Oscar De La Hoya

Former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito is very upset with Oscar De La Hoya. He says the president of Golden Boy Promotions is "sticking his nose" in business that doesn't concern him. In several interviews, De La Hoya voiced his opinion that Margarito should not receive a license to box. The tough Mexican's license was revoked a year ago when a banned substance was found in his handwraps before the fight with Shane Mosley on January 24.

"A lot of people have told me [De La Hoya] is petitioning against me so I don't get my license back. But how does that affect him?" - Margarito said.

The California State Athletic Commission gave him the option of applying for a new license after a one year period. Margarito plans to headline a Latin Fury pay-per-view on May 8. During a recent radio interview, Margarito was at odds over what the CSAC wanted from him to get his license back and why they were preventing him from be licensed in other states.

"If I was given the punishment in California, why send letters to other states asking them not to give me a license? Regardless, I already completed my year of suspension. I do not know what they want from me now. Now, they have to honor their words. This is my job and I need to get into the ring because I can't be so inactive," said Margarito.
