Over the pond tonight, in Los Angeles to be precise, a heavyweight fight takes place that could open the door for the division to become as exciting as it used to be.
With heavyweight boxing having been dominated by the Klitschko brothers for what seems an eternity, the sudden retirement of Vitali, freeing up his WBC belt, has enable a hungry pack or fighters emerge to try and make their mark on the division.
In Los Angeles tonight Canada?s Bermane Stiverne goes head-to-head with America?s Chris Arreola for the vacant title. The winner of this match-up is expected to meet the big punching, unbeaten, knock-out artist Deontay Wilder, in their first defence.
After that it?s expected that one of the current crop of British challengers ? Tyson Fury, Dereck Chisora or David Price will enter the picture, indicating there are exciting times ahead.
To see all the action in the Stiverne v Arreola battle, tune into BoxNation tonight with the fight on live from around 02:00 hours.
As for predicting a winner, I?ve a hunch it?ll be Arreola getting ready to meet Deontay Wilder in the very near future.
WBC Heavyweight Title at Stake Tonight!
