Manager says Margarito will make mandatory defense against Williams!
WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito will accept his mandatory defense against Paul Williams according to co-manager Francisco Espinoza. Espinoza told Primera Hora that Margarito does not want to give up the WBO title and was pressured into accepting a $1.2 million offer from Goossen Tutor, who won the right to promote the bout at a purse bid last week. Top Rank had planned to match Margarito against WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and in a big Madison Square Garden pay-per-view clash in June, but Team Margarito is now aiming at an October date for that bout.
Stark von Margarito.
