Heavyweight Chis Arreola (35-4, 31KOs) will make his return to the ring on December 11th at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California, according to his trainer and co-manager, Henry Ramirez, on a show that will be televised by ESPN. An opponent still has to be finalized.

Arreola in his last bout was stopped by Bermane Stiverne for the vacant WBC heavyweight title at the Galen Center on the campus of USC back on May 10th. This broadcast will also feature the return of former junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (27-2, 14KOs), who will face Luis Grajeda (17-3-2, 13KOs) and possibly the rescheduled heavyweight fight between Johnathon Banks (29-2-1, 19 KOs) and Antonio Tarver (30-6, 21 KOs), who withdrew from their September 29th date in Texas with a thumb injury.

Names like Sergio Mora along with a host of other Al Haymon clients are expected to be on this card.
