Pavlik still waiting to find out opponent

Kelly Pavlik’s next opponent probably won’t be announced until Wednesday, his co-manager, Cameron Dunkin, said Monday afternoon.

Top Rank Boxing and Dunkin are considering five possible opponents for a June 7 bout: Dominican Giovanni Lorenzo, the WBC’s No. 1 contender; Welshman Gary Lockett, the WBO’s top challenger; Mexican Marco Antonio Rubio, American Randy Griffin and an unnamed fighter who has just entered the picture, Dunkin said.

The main hangup is the asking price, Dunkin said.

“We’re trying to get it where they all stop thinking they’re worth so much money,” Dunkin said. “These guys should be happy for the opportunity.”
