This coming Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Kelly Pavlik will defend his WBC/WBO middleweight titles against Sergio Martinez. According to the Augusta Chronicle, a familiar face will be watching at ringside, Paul "The Punisher" Williams. He plans to attend the event to challenge the winner.

Williams won a close majority decision over Martinez in December. The fight was action-packed and nearly earned "fight of the year" honors. A demand for a rematch is there. Pavlik was scheduled to fight Williams on two dates in 2009. Both times Pavlik withdrew with a bad staph infection in his hand. There is a lot of bad blood between Pavlik and Williams. A demand is there for that fight too.

"If that be the case, we'll be right back where we want to be and fight Sergio Martinez for both titles," Peterson said to The Chronicle. "It doesn't matter to us who we fight. We're not like this new school of guys out there today who want to fight who they know they can beat. Paul wants a challenge in each and every situation. The more the person brings to the table, the more Paul gets up for his fights."
