Vanes vs Wolak Clash To Take Place Dec. 4 or Dec. 18

By Lem Satterfield

According to Top Rank Promotions' CEO Bob Arum, unbeaten junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan (28-0, 17 KOs) will face Pawel Wolak (27-1, 17 KOs) on either the planned December 4 pay-per-view undercard or as the televised main event of a Top Rank Live on December 18 on Fox Sports. Wolak was scheduled to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on December 4, but later replaced by Alfonso Gomez.

"When they moved the [Chavez] fight to the Anaheim Pond, Gomez comes from that area," said Arum. "It was a much more attractive fight to have Gomez face Chavez. We were talking to Wolak about fighting Chavez, and we ain't going to leave him cold. We're going to put him in with Vanes. That fight will happen either that day, Dec. 4, or within the next to weeks on a Fox Show. So the guy, Wolak, is fighting. So he is going to get a good payday."
