A media conference will reportedly be held in Los Angeles this week to formally announce the upcoming WBC heavyweight title fight between champion Vitali Klitschko and Cristobal Arreola.
The clash is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, making this effectively a fight on Arreola's home ground.
Klitschko, 37-2 (36), has one of the highest KO percentages in the sport and will likely be favored to retain the title he won in 2004 and regained last year but the 38 year old faces a undefeated challenger in Arreola, 27-0 (24), ten years his junior.
