YOUNGSTOWN — Prior to his ascent to the top of the middleweight class, Kelly Pavlik fought Lenord “The Haitian Sensation” Pierre at the Chevrolet Centre; one of four fights that he has fought locally during a stellar professional career.
When he returns to the Chevrolet Centre to face Marco Antonio Rubio on Feb. 21, it will mark his second title defense but his first local appearance since winning the middleweight championship.
In addition to his many backers, Pavlik seems to be excited most about the opportunity to defend his crown in front of so many hometown fans.
