WBO#10 heavyweight Brian ‘The Beast’ Minto (32-2, 21 KOs) is targeting WBO#3 Chris Arreola (26-0, 23 KOs) for a heavyweight showdown on April 11th on HBO. Minto believes that Arreola is no more worthy than he is for a title shot with WBO champ Wladimir Klitschko. “In my opinion, Arreola has not earned a title shot. He has neither fought a former champion nor even a title challenger. I have fought several. Chris has won on HBO, but I have won on HBO PPV,” Minto stated. Both heavyweights have a very aggressive style, and the potential for fireworks clearly exists. Minto states, “A fight between two top ten heavies would help clarify the status of the heavyweight division. In addition, I believe that the winner of a fight between Arreola and myself should fight WBO #1 challenger Alexander Dimitrenko (29-0) in a final WBO heavyweight eliminator to determine who gets a shot at Wlad. I’m willing to earn my shot. Is Arreola willing to earn his?”
