By Allan Fox: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (62-3, 52 KO’s) wants a shot at WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KO’s) in the near future if possible in order to get a chance to win the last major heavyweight title not already in his possession. Wladimir has a fight tentatively scheduled already, though, against his #1 IBF challenger Kubrat Pulev (20-0, 11 KO’s) on September 6th at the O2 World, Altona, in Hamburg, Germany. A fight between Wladimir and Stiverne will likely have to wait until 2015, if at all.
Stiverne and his promoter Don King still haven’t said whether they’re interested in taking a unification fight against the 6’6″ Wladimir, and it’s quite possible that they’ll say no to his request for a fight. While it would be a good payday for Stiverne if he were to take that fight, he’d very likely lose his title and then be relegated to contender status once again. Stiverne won’t get as much money for his normal title defenses, but if he holds onto the WBC title for a year or two, he’ll end up making a lot more money in the long run than he’d make in a single unification fight against Wladimir.

Both fighters looked a little flabby which is normal for both guys given their physiques. Arreola weighed in at 239 pounds.

Stiverne whipped Arreola by a 12 round decision last year in April, but the WBC decided it would be a good idea for them to fight again for the vacant WBC heavyweight title after champion Vitali Klitschko vacated the strap this year. 
By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBC Bermane Stiverne (23-1-1, 20 KO’s) and #2 WBC Chris Arreola (36-3, 31 KO’s) will be meeting up this Saturday night on ESPN to fight for vacant WBC heavyweight title at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California. This is a rematch of a fight that took place last year in April in which Stiverne easily beat Arreola by a 12 round unanimous decision. Stiverne broke Arreola’s nose, and knocked him down once in the fight to earn the victory.

Arreola says he’s not going to let down his guard for his rematch against Stiverne in their fight for the vacant WBC heavyweight title on May 10th at the Galen Center, in Los Angeles, California, USA.
By Mike S: Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola and Bermaine Stiverne are close to locking horns again in Villahermosa, Mexico this June in a fight that will be reportedly be aired by HBO in the States. Stiverne won the first meeting by a wide UD after smashing Arreola’s nose and dropping him in the third round. Arreola was in flabby condition AGAIN, and seemed to just sit back and wait for something to happen. It never did.
