By Mike Coppinger

Sources close to junior middleweight Pawel Wolak have advised BoxingScene.com that Wolak is likely to return to the ring Dec. 3 on the undercard of Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito 2, versus fellow Top Rank fighter Jesus Soto-Karass or with a rematch against Delvin Rodriguez.

Just last Friday, Wolak waged war with Rodriguez in a fight of the year candidate on ESPN 2, the fight declared a majority draw. Soto-Karass (24-6-3, 16 KOs) is an all-action fighter coming off two losses to Mike Jones at welterweight.
