Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik is a name that echoes through the boxing halls of history and the streets of Youngstown, Ohio. Born and raised in this hardworking steel town, Pavlik embodied the grit, determination, and blue-collar toughness that define Youngstown. With a powerful right hand, relentless pressure, and an unbreakable will, he carved out a legacy that cemented his place among boxing’s greats!
