ONTARIO, CA (August 12, 2010) – Tomorrow night Southern California heavyweight contenders Cristobal Arreola (28-2, 25 KOs) and Manuel Quezada (29-5, 18 KOs) will square off in a crucial battle to keep their hopes alive of becoming the first Mexican World Heavyweight Champion at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.

The 12-round main event, which is presented by Goossen Tutor Promotions and sponsored by Soboba Casino, is for the WBC Mexican National Championship and will air on ESPN “Friday Night Fights.”
