February bout seems likely for Taylor-Pavlik II
Kelly Pavlik’s rematch with Jermain Taylor seems likely to take place either on Feb. 16 in Las Vegas or Feb. 23 at Madison Square Garden, Top Rank Boxing chairman Bob Arum said Tuesday.
Taylor, who lost his WBC and WBO middleweight belts to Pavlik last month in Atlantic City, activated his rematch clause with Pavlik on Monday.
Taylor-Pavlik II will be a non-title bout at a catch weight of 166 unless Pavlik’s people agree to changes over the next few months.
