UPDATE: Pavlik-Chavez fight may be off

Kelly Pavlik may make his ring return at Dallas Cowboys Stadium but it won’t be on Dec. 4 — and it may not be against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Pavlik’s co-manager and father, Mike Pavlik, told WFMJ-TV that Top Rank Boxing informed him the fought against Chavez was off because Chavez felt he wasn’t ready for Pavlik.

Top Rank spokesman Lee Samuels wasn’t aware of the report and said the promotion company deals with Pavlik’s other co-manager, Cameron Dunkin.

“Top Rank hasn’t called anybody,” Samuels said. “It’s a fight we’ve discussed but that’s it.

“It’s a fight we’d like to do and we’d like to do it in December.”

Dunkin did not return a call seeking comment.
