WBO#7, WBA#14 heavyweight contender, Brian "The Beast" Minto (34-2 21kos) wants a shot at WBC#4, WBO#10 Chris Arreola (27-1 24kos) on Dec. 5th on HBO. Minto states, "We both have a great deal of heart and skill, and our styles would make for an exciting and fan-friendly type fight. In addition, Arreola can put up his NABF belt, and I'll put my WBO NABO heavyweight title on the line."
Interestingly, a size difference could play a factor in an Arreola/Minto matchup. Arreola, standing 6'4, weighed 251 pounds in his September match with WBC Heavyweight Champ, Vitali Klitschko (38-2 37kos), while Minto, 5'11, always hovers around 215 pounds. Minto's agent, Pat Nelson, states, "Minto is undefeated on HBO PPV, RTL and ESPN, and he greatly is looking forward to returning to a major, premium network such as HBO."
