Former world middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (40-2, 34 KOs) said he was going back in the ring. The American wants to box at the cruiserweights: “I'm only 36, and I can still fight at a high level. I do not say that I will immediately meet Oleksandr Usyk, but I will reach this level,” said Pavlik.
Pavlik had his last battle in July 2012. Pavlik's last fights took place in the super middleweight division. Pavlik's career ended due to lack of motivation and problems with alcohol, which translated to his poor physical conditions.
