Multiple sources have been advised by Mike Pavlik, co-manager and father of former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (37-2, 32KOs), that his son is expected to travel to California in the near future to begin working with experienced trainer Robert Garcia. Pavlik has been inactive since last May's decision win over Alfonso Lopez. The boxer made numerous headlines in the last thirty days, between his public split with longtime trainer Jack Loew and allegations of a DUI. Top Rank is trying to get Pavlik a fight in April or May, according to Mike Pavlik.
