BoxingScene.com was advised that former champion Paul Spadafora has parted ways with trainer Pernell Whitaker. Spadafora (44-0, 18KOs) has reunited with former trainer Jesse Reid, who is training him for the scheduled fight with Diego Jesus Ponce at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. Spadafora hired Whitaker last June. Spadafora's promoter, Michael Acri, tells BoxingScene that Whitaker has not communicated with them for several weeks.
"I don't know what happened. We've been trying to reach him for weeks. We can't get a hold of him, so Paul is back with his former trainer, Jesse Reid, who is going to work with him going forward," Acri said.
