YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Police have closed an investigation without making an arrest into middleweight boxing champion Kelly Pavlik's complaint that a former sponsor threatened to shoot his hands so he couldn't fight again.
Pavlik filed a police report June 30 in Boardman Township, a suburb of Pavlik's hometown Youngstown. Pavlik told police some associates warned him about the threat.
Pavlik told police the person making the threat believes that the boxer owes him money.
Boardman detective Steve Riwniak said the case is considered closed but could be reopened if there are any additional leads.
