Swinging For The Fences: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (left) and Joe Torre, Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, discuss strategy and share a laugh before a game against the San Francisco Giants this past weekend at Dodger Stadium. This Saturday, Sept. 26, Klitschko (37-2, 36 KOs), of Los Angeles, will be all business when he defends his WBC title against undefeated, No. 1-ranked WBC world contender Cristobal Arreola (27-0, 24 KOs), of Riverside by way of East L.A., in an eagerly awaited showdown of heavy hitters at STAPLES Center..
One of the most recognizable and popular fighters in the world, Klitschko will make history by becoming the first fighter to headline three times at STAPLES Center. The power-punching Arreola, who has had only one fight go the distance (24 by KO, two by DQ – on the way to a KO), will try to make history by becoming the first boxer of Mexican descent to capture a world heavyweight championship.
