Vitali won his arbitration against Maskaev and the WBC. So he does not have to fight Oleg next. Therefore it is likely that he will next fight in Los Angeles on HBO against American Chris Arreola
Court of Arbitration for Sport rules against forced Vitali Klitschko-Oleg Maskaev fight - ESPN
Arreola better come in shape or it will be a short and painful night for him.

Decent pay day for Arreola but that's all it is... unless V Klit has gotten old over night which happens.
Arreola must want to shorten his career cause either brother will take him to the woodshed.....
It's going to happen one of these nights.Quote:

Vitali will get injured and retire again before the fight happens
That could well happen too LOL
I really hope Arreola comes into a fight with a Klitschko in great shape. He's going to need to and I hope he beats 'em. He is an exciting American Heavyweight and Arreola could fill in the role of being the next great Heavyweight.
Cris Arreola is a good fighter, he's a little unpolished, and a little unprofessional with the way he trains(or doesn't train) but he's got good power, he's seemingly less affected by power punches than most heavyweights....he's been down but never seemed to be hurt all that badly, he may just have a good poker face.
I think Arreola is an easy night for Vitali, Cris is a head hunter, Vitali is awkward, has good defense and is powerful enough to put the hurt on big Cris, so I see Vitali by early to mid round stoppage 3-5.
Dumb fight for Arreola so soon. I would like to see Chris fight another 3 or 4 fight's first. Then take on one of the Klitschko's. He does supposedly have a new fitness trainer.
This would be a massacre
Maybe this matchup would convince Arreola to stop using the Corrie Sanders Fitness Program during training camp.
