The minimal coupling method proved to yield definite and correct physical predictions when applied to fundamental fermions within the framework of Yang--Mills theories of Standard Model. Similarly, the possibility of formulating gravity as the Poincar\'e gauge theory gives the opportunity to produce definite predictions for fermions in the presence of gravitational field. The minimal coupling procedure, however, cannot be applied naively but rather needs to be modified slightly such that it is unambiguous. Application of the corrected coupling method to fermions, together with the inclusion of the Holst term in the gravitational part of the action, leads to the conclusion that the Immirzi parameter is in principle classically measurable, in agreement with the result of Perez and Rovelli.
