Zab Judah cleared to resume boxing career after lengthy NAC meeting
http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/box ... ac-meeting?
After a lengthy hearing that left the Nevada Athletic Commission baffled at times, former welterweight champion Zab Judah was cleared to resume his boxing career.
Judah, 38, faced the NAC for approximately 2 hours Tuesday morning before the council unanimously agreed to lift the fighter’s suspension immediately.
He still has a list of requirements to meet until he’s granted his comeback bout.
Judah was originally barred from fighting after he and his promoter Roy Englebrecht falsified statements on Judah’s boxing license that would have allowed him to fight on March 12. Judah was scheduled to fight Josh Torres in the main event on an Englebrecht card at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. But the fight was canceled after it was discovered Judah owed back child support and had indicated on his application that he had no liens against him. The form was filled out by Englebrecht without Judah’s knowledge. The promoter was given an 18-month suspension last month.
Judah, who has five children, will need to provide a payment plan for the child support he owes and submit his license application in person with proof of social security to executive director Bob Bennett. It’s unclear how much Judah owes in child support, it’s been stated that is up to $250,000, but Judah said it’s closer to $80,000.
Judah’s suspension started from March 10, 2015 when he was granted his license to come out of retirement, and since the Brooklyn-born fighter hasn’t had a match in that span, his suspension has been served. He hasn’t fought since losing to Paul Malignaggi in 2013.
