The man in the middle is Klitschko’s longtime trainer, the respected Fritz Sdunek. On Saturday, September 26th, Klitschko (37-2, 36 KOs) defends his crown against #1 ranked WBC contender Cristobal Arreola (27-0, 24 KOs) in an eagerly awaited showdown of heavy hitters at STAPLES Center. One of the most popular fighters in the world, Klitschko will make history by becoming the first fighter to headline three times at STAPLES Center. The undefeated power-punching Arreola, who has twenty knockouts with only one fight going the distance, will attempt to make history by becoming the first boxer of Mexican descent to capture a world heavyweight championship.
