Boxing: Kelly Pavlik extends contract with Top Rank
WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik has agreed to a multiyear contract extension with Top Rank, Fightnews says. According to Pavlik's hometown newspaper the Youngstown Vindicator, many details haven't been ironed out but the new pact will extend at least until 2011. Promoter Bob Arum is trying to reschedule a bout against Pavlik and former champion Sergio Mora for September, and a showdown with IBF middleweight champion Artur Abraham or WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm may be in the cards for December or January.
