Comments Thread For: Chris Arreola Will Be Ready For Stiverne By Mid-April

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The final WBC heavyweight eliminator between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne (22-1-1, 20KOs) is once again hunting for a new date. Citing bronchitis, Arreola’s trainer pulled his boxer from the fight with Stiverne. The fight was scheduled to make place on March 9th as part of an HBO televised split-site edition of World Championship Boxing.

The fight has been shuffled around several times. Last September, Stiverne's promoter Don King secured the promotional rights after winning the WBC's purse bid with a whopping submission of $1.1 million.

Hopefully only a short break for Arreola, he's a guy who needs to stay active in order not to fall back and get out of shape. Sounds good if the Stiverne fight happens by mid April, fingers crossed.

Arreola is hoping vitali retires before the fight so he don't have to get beat into tears again...

Arreola is having second thoughts about this guys punching power.

Ramirez is a good trainer he just needs to quit being so friendly with Arreola. When it comes to training friendship should be put aside and it should be all business. I serious doubt the Great Manny Steward had beers and tacos with his fighters...
