Wladimir interested in fighting Arreola in New York
By Eric Thomas: For his next fight, IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko says he’d really like to fight in New York and take on Chis Arreola. Wladimir sees Arreola as a good opponent to take on in front of the American fans and it would be one of Wladimir’s rare fights in the U.S. He’s not interested, however, in fighting David Haye again because he feels that Haye can’t fight at the heavyweight level.

Heavyweight Boxing: We Need a Spark

The days of young heavyweight contenders at age 21 or 22 are over as are the days of wars such as “The Thrilla in Manila” and “The Rumble in the Jungle”. We are stuck with boring heavyweights like the Klitschko brothers or ones of no skill such as Nikolay Valuev.
