Klitschko-Arreola For 9/26, Pavlik-Williams For 10/3

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com was informed that a heavyweight bout [if a deal is reached] between WBC champion Vitali Klitschko and unbeaten Chris Arreola would happen on September 26 on HBO. I've been told the 9/26 date has nothing to do with the ongoing talks to finalize a deal for a middleweight bout between WBC/WBO champion Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams. The two sides, for Klitschko and Arreola, are currently in talks to make the fight happen.

Pavlik-Williams would fall on October 3, a date previously reserved by HBO for a Williams/Arreola doubleheader. If the two sides for Pavlik-Williams are unable to reach an agreement, Williams will probably return on that date, on HBO, against WBO 154-pound champion Sergei Dzinziruk [or an alternative]. Dzinziruk is now being co-promoted by Golden Boy Promotions. Prior to the negotiations with Williams, Pavlik was already on schedule to return on October 3 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. If the Williams fight is a no-go, and an alternative network date is not secured, Pavlik's next fight would be showcased on a Top Rank pay-per-view card.
