Pavlik's trainer: No decision yet

Kelly Pavlik's trainer Jack Loew said his fighter has not yet made a decision about his future, contrary to a report by HBO's Larry Merchant.

Merchant reported Saturday night that Pavlik would bypass a rematch with Sergio Martinez and move up to super middleweight.

"I don't know where Larry Merchant got that, I really don't," Loew said.

Pavlik will talk with Loew, his father, co-manager Mike Pavlik Sr. and co-manager Cameron Dunkin (by phone) at 2 p.m. Monday to discuss their next step.

Pavlik has until May 17 to activate the rematch clause. He lost his middleweight titles by unanimous decision to Martinez on April 17.
