Goossen Tutor had scheduled a media press conference to announce the co-main event for Paul Williams vs. Winky Wright, which is scheduled to take place at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 11th 2009.
It was stated in the press release that WBC continental Americas and NABF heavyweight champion, Cristobal “The Nightmare” Arreola was going to face WBC heavyweight contender and three-time world title challenger Jameel McCline but the press conference was postponed until further notice with out any reason given.
Now talks between the camps of IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye appear to have collapsed. Rumors are circulating in the Eastern European media that Wlad may now defend against Arreola on June 20. Team Klitschko has made no official announcement on who Wladimir’s next opponent will be, but the sudden cancellation of a Los Angeles press conference makes me wonder if the rumors are true.
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Cristobal Arreola doesn’t sound bad at all.
