There could be chance that one of the more anticipated fights in boxing will actually happen. Provided that WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik and IBF champion Arthur Abraham win their next fights, the could possibly meet in a unification bout in October or November.
Pavlik’s manager, Cameron Dunkin, confirmed to Joe Scalzo of the The Vindicator that both sides are discussing a possible fight in the fall. Dunkin did say the fight is long way from being a done deal.
“We’ve been talking,” said Dunkin. “I’ve talked to Mike [Pavlik Sr., Pavlik’s co-manager] and Kelly and they’re both fine with the fight. But there’s nothing done and it’s a long way from being done.”
Pavlik will defend his title against Contender winner Sergio Mora. Their fight will take place in late June or July. Abraham's promoter was trying to secure a fight with current WBC junior middleweight champion Vernon Forrest, and that would take place in the summer.
