LAS VEGAS — The Nevada Athletic Commission told boxer Zab Judah today that he can apply again for a license to fight in the state, two years after a melee during a welterweight title fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

"The commission, with a severe warning, granted Mr. Judah's petition for reinstatement," said Keith Kizer, commission executive director. "But commissioners warned him that if anything else happens he faces even more discipline."

The panel said it was satisfied that Judah, 30, has behaved well in four recent fights in other states. His overall record is 36-5 with 25 knockouts.

Kizer said Judah now needs to submit the results of medical tests and file paperwork for a 2008 license, which can be granted without further commission action.

That would clear the way for Judah to face fighter Shane Mosley in the next few months in Las Vegas.

The commission today also renewed Mosley's license for 2008. At 36, Mosley is 44-5 with 37 knockouts and one no contest.

The panel revoked Judah's license for his role in the April 8, 2006, fracas during their IBF title bout in Las Vegas. Judah was fined $250,000. His trainer-father, Yoel Judah, was fined $100,000.

Zab Judah was punished for punching Mayweather in the back of the head and for joining a fracas that ensued when Mayweather's trainer and uncle, Roger Mayweather, burst into the ring.

Yoel Judah was fined for being the second person to illegally rush into the ring and for punching Roger Mayweather.

The mishap was the second involving Zab Judah in Las Vegas.

In 2001, Judah put his gloved fist on referee Jay Nady's throat after Nady stopped an IBF junior welterweight title bout between Judah and Kostya Tszyu in the second round and awarded Tszyu a technical knockout. Judah later also threw a stool at Nady. He was suspended six months and fined $75,000.
