Henry Ramirez, rising heavyweight Chris Arreola’s trainer, confirmed to FightTube that Goosen Tutor Promotions (Arreola’s promoter) is in negotiations with the  David Tua camp for a possible HBO televised card in the Los Angeles area. The Staples Center and The Home Depot Center have been discussed as possible venues.

An impressive KO victory over Chazz Witherspoon on HBO “Boxing After Dark” gave the Arreola camp the leverage it needed for another HBO show. Should Arreola look impressive against the sturdy Tua, a fight with Samuel Peter is the next likely target for the Arreola camp.
