An injury to RING super middleweight champion Andre Ward's right shoulder has forced the cancelation of a scheduled March 2 defense against former middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik.

Junior welterweight Mike Alvarado has agreed in principle to a clash with former WBA lightweight titleholder Brandon Rios on Oct. 13 at The Home Depot Center on the Nonito Donaire-Toshiaki Nishioka undercard.

The decision to move Kelly Pavlik to Oxnard, Calif., has clearly paid off and trainer Robert Garcia, manager Cameron Dunkin and Pavlik himself are all feeling a sense of rejuvenation around his career.

The WBC claims that it has not yet sanctioned a middleweight title defense by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. against Marco Antonio Rubio that is slated for Feb. 4.

It appears that alcohol issues are again troubling former undisputed middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik following his DUI arrest late Wednesday evening in Canfield, Ohio.

Antonio Margarito was licensed to face Miguel Cotto on Dec. 3 at New York's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

Antonio Margarito's awaits a ruling by the New York State Athletic Commission on whether or not to license him for a bout opposite Miguel Cotto on Dec. 3 at Madison Square Garden.

Kelly Pavlik is expected to begin workouts with Robert Garcia, trainer of Nonito Donaire, Brandon Rios and others.

Nonito Donaire will make his junior featherweight debut in February against Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.

The fate of Antonio Margarito vs. Miguel Cotto will be determined by a three-member New York panel's vote on Friday.

Mike Lee, Mike Jones-Sebastian Lujan and the rematch between Pawel Wolak and Delvin Rodriguez  stack the undercard of Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito II.

'Somebody's lying,' said trainer Jack Loew, who disagrees with manager Cameron Dunkin on what led to Kelly Pavlik pulling out of last Saturday night's fight with Darryl Cunningham
