BoxingScene.com reported back in June that former world champion Antonio Margarito (38-8, 27KOs) was back in training and seriously considering the possibility of a comeback at either junior middleweight or middleweight.

Margarito was forced to retire due to an injury to his right eye, which was severely damaged during his decision loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2010.

He tried to return to the ring a year later, in a rematch with Miguel Cotto, and the injured eye began to swell up within a few rounds and forced the ringside physician to pull him from the fight in the ninth round.  

Margarito, 37-years-old, has been out of the ring for 44 months and now is moving forward with his return plan, hoping for a tuneup fight in November or December and then a major contest in 2016.

The 'Tijuana Tornado' has secured a trainer. He is reuniting with his former coach, Robert Garcia.

"I already talked to Robert. I will train with him. I know if I want that big fight I should be with Robert. First I want to train for three more months, and then do one more fight before looking for a big fight," said Margarito to ESPN Deportes. "I feel good, physical and my eye is fine. I should not have any problems in returning to 154 pounds, which is my goal."
