WBO#10 heavyweight Brian ‘The Beast’ Minto (32-2, 21 KOs) is targeting WBO#3 Chris Arreola (26-0, 23 KOs) for a heavyweight showdown on April 11th on HBO. Minto believes that Arreola is no more worthy than he is for a title shot with WBO champ Wladimir Klitschko. “In my opinion, Arreola has not earned a title shot. He has neither fought a former champion nor even a title challenger. I have fought several. Chris has won on HBO, but I have won on HBO PPV,” Minto stated. Both heavyweights have a very aggressive style, and the potential for fireworks clearly exists. Minto states, “A fight between two top ten heavies would help clarify the status of the heavyweight division. In addition, I believe that the winner of a fight between Arreola and myself should fight WBO #1 challenger Alexander Dimitrenko (29-0) in a final WBO heavyweight eliminator to determine who gets a shot at Wlad. I’m willing to earn my shot. Is Arreola willing to earn his?”

Brian has more heart and grit than anyone Arreola has fought. don't sell him too short. While I think he is outgunned, I don't think he has no shot. I give him a 25% chance. Which for a gatekeeper is a solid chance.Comment
