Heavyweights Cristobal Arreola and Bermane Stiverne will duke it out on March 9 for the right to become the mandatory challenger for titleholder Vitali Klitschko, promoter Dan Goossen announced Wednesday.
Goossen and HBO rescheduled the bout to take place as part of a split-site telecast. While Goossen will promote the Arreola-Stiverne fight at The Hangar at the Orange County Fairgrounds & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif., in one of the HBO bouts, the telecast will be headlined by Tavoris Cloud's light heavyweight title defense against former champion Bernard Hopkins at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Arreola-Stiverne was originally scheduled for Jan. 26 on the undercard of super middleweight champion Andre Ward's title defense against former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik. When the main event was postponed to March 2 and later canceled because of Ward's right shoulder injury and subsequent surgery, the Arreola-Stiverne fight was left in limbo until being slotted on March 9.

Get the latest scoop and analysis on the world of boxing from ESPN.com's Dan Rafael in his blog.
The co-feature on the card -- but not slated for HBO coverage -- will be junior lightweight titlist Juan Carlos Salgado (26-1-1, 16 KOs) of Mexico in a rematch with mandatory challenger Argenis Mendez (20-2, 10 KOs) of the Dominican Republic.
Arreola (35-2, 30 KOs), 31, of Riverside, Calif., will be aiming to land his second title shot against Klitschko. As the mandatory challenger in 2009, Arreola faced Klitschko but was stopped in the ninth round of the one-sided fight when his corner threw in the towel.
The fight will be Arreola's first 13 months. He was supposed to fight in June, but an elbow injury forced him to withdraw. Then the fight with Stiverne was postponed when Ward-Pavlik was canceled.
"Prior to Chris' injury, he kept a very unheard of pace for a heavyweight, registering five wins in 2011 and a February bout in 2012," Goossen said. "This is the type of determination Chris has shown fighting his way back to his goal of becoming heavyweight world champion. He's been incredible staying in the gym and keeping his weight under control. I've said for years -- he's one of the most exciting fighters in the world, and now with his desire to be in tip-top shape, he's now one of the most dangerous fighters today."
Stiverne (22-1-1, 20 KOs), 34, who was born in Haiti and lives in Las Vegas, will be fighting for the first time in 11 months, since an eight-round decision win against journeyman Willie Herring.
Tyson Fury is ready and willing to fight Wladimir Klitschko on April 6.

Tony Thompson talks about his upcoming fight with David Price:
Tony Thompson: David Price is in the firing line
Quote:
TONY THOMPSON claims that Tyson Fury ducked out of fighting him recently. The American two-time world heavyweight title challenger did manage to find a Briton willing him to face him and boxes David Price (15-0) in a 12 rounder at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Saturday 23rd February.
Thompson (36-3) has twice challenged Wladimir Klitschko for world titles lasting until the 11th round in July 2008 and six rounds last summer. (continued)
Tony Thompson says Americans should accept the reality that the best heavyweight in the world is a Ukrainian, Wladimir Klitschko:
