The fate of Angel Garcia and whether he is “suitable” to work his son Danny Garcia’s corner for his welterweight unification bout with Keith Thurman on March 4 at Barclays Center on CBS will be decided in a meeting with the New York State Athletic Commission in the next few weeks, a commission spokesman told RingTV.com on Thursday.
The sit-down with Commission officials will center around Angel Garcia’s vulgar rant at a press conference last month at Barclays Center in which he spewed racist and xenophobic language at Thurman and in front of audience members. Garcia has already applied for a trainer’s license for the bout. “New York State Athletic Commission staff will meet with Angel Garcia to consider his request and suitability for licensure in New York State,” Commission spokesman Laz Benitez told RingTV.com in an email, referring to Garcia’s application for a second/trainer’s license in New York State.
