Kelly Pavlik: record, next fight and profile →

BoxingScene.com's audio show, Boxing Lab Radio , returns with another packed show. The show is hosted by BoxingScene correspondants Ernest Gabion, Luis Sandoval and Ryan Burton.

Former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (37-2, 32 KOs) will return on April 14th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The fight will be a ten round bout at 166-pounds, reportedly against Scott Sigmon (21-3, 12 KOs) of Lynchburg, Va. Lightweights Yuriorkis Gamboa and Brandon Rios will headline the show in an HBO televised main event. Pavlik, inactive since May 7, is now trained by Robert Garcia of Oxnaard, California.

Luis Sandoval catches up with former middleweight king Kelly Pavlik to discuss his training with Robert Garcia, possible fights for the future and more.

Former middleweight champion Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik has made plenty of changes in the last year. The most notable was leaving former long time trainer Jack Lowe and moving across the country to Robert Garcia’s Boxing Academy in Oxnard, CA.

This past December saw former lightweight titlist Brandon ‘Bam Bam’ Rios lose his cherished WBA crown, yet it wasn’t solely because of the opponent he was set to face. Then prepping for the second defense of his belt against the United Kingdom's John Murray, Rios would come in .6 pounds overweight in trying to make the lightweight limit of 135 pounds, with subsequent attempts also proving to be off the mark. Rios would lose his title on the scales and while he would end up pounding out Murray one night later for an 11th round TKO, his future suddenly became cloudy.

These days you will find former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, on the west coast of California as he trains under the eye of his new trainer Robert Garcia in Oxnard, California.

A chance meeting at a local boxing event in Woodland Hills, California. Two boxers on the long road back, Olympic gold medal winner Audley Harrison, and former middleweight king Kelly Pavlik, met face to face. Harrison (27-5, 20KOs) is returning for the first time since November 2010, on April 14th in Brentwood, against Ali Adams (13-3-1, 5KOs) in a heavyweight clash. Pavlik (37-2, 32KOs) is now training in Oxnard, with former champion and respected trainer Robert Garcia.

Multiple sources have been advised by Mike Pavlik, co-manager and father of former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (37-2, 32KOs), that his son is expected to travel to California in the near future to begin working with experienced trainer Robert Garcia. Pavlik has been inactive since last May's decision win over Alfonso Lopez. The boxer made numerous headlines in the last thirty days, between his public split with longtime trainer Jack Loew and allegations of a DUI. Top Rank is trying to get Pavlik a fight in April or May, according to Mike Pavlik.
