Carson Jones is slated to face Antonio Margarito on March 13th, pending Texas approval of Margarito’s application for a boxing license. There has been a loud public outcry opposing Margarito’s reinstatement from concerned fans and boxing figures.
“If Margarito is not allowed to fight, that takes food off of my table and robs me of a chance to show the world that I am the real deal and hurts me far more than it does Antonio Margarito,” said Jones, who recently demolished the much-hyped Tyrone Brunson on ShoBox. “I wish people would stop trying to prevent this fight from happening. This is a dream fight for me and something I have worked all my life for to have an opportunity to do. The public needs to let me handle the punishing of Antonio Margarito, because that is exactly what I will do if he is allowed to fight me on March 13th. I ask all the people who want this fight stopped, to just support me on March 13th when I pull off my second upset in a row. I think he has learned his lesson and I am not concerned at all about him trying to do any of the things that he has been accused of doing in the past. This is supposed to be his comeback fight, it will be his retirement fight also, trust me.”
