1. Rumor has it that a deal has been reached for Kelly Pavlik-Paul Williams for September 27 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The fight would be aired on HBO World Championship Boxing.2. Rumor also has it that Antonio Tarver and Chad Dawson will finally fight on October 11 in Connecticut at either the Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods casino. Chad Dawson will be stripped of his WBC Light Heavyweight Belt because he will not be facing his mandatory Adrian Diaconu. A Dawson-Tarver fight will get Dawson more money than a fight with Diaconu.
3. It appears the Samuel Peter-Vitali Klitschko fight will take place October 4 in Berlin Germany at the new O2 World Arena there. Showtime will televise the fight.
4. Marco Antonio Barrera wants to fight again but not under Golden Boy Promotions. Barrera, who has a minority stake in Golden Boy, wants to fight as a free agent. Golden Boy claims Barrera owes them one more fight and of course Barrera says differently. They are supposed to meet and discuss the situation.
5. It appears Manny Pacquiao will be fighting Humberto Soto on November 15. Bob Arum said he did not want to get delayed waiting on the Nevada State Athletic Commission to give clearance to Edwin Valero. Arum said if Valero is cleared, he will put him on the undercard of the Pacquiao fight and if they both win then they can fight each other next year.
