When super middleweight champ Andre Ward was forced to postpone his Jan. 26 title defense against Kelly Pavlik because of a right shoulder injury -- and then it turned out that he needed surgery on the shoulder, forcing cancellation of the fight right before it was officially rescheduled for March 2 -- it left in limbo a significant heavyweight fight. Cristobal Arreola (35-2, 30 KOs) and Bermane Stiverne (22-1-1, 20 KOs) were due to meet in the HBO "World Championship Boxing" co-feature on the Ward-Pavlik undercard in a title eliminator to determine the mandatory challenger for titleholder Vitali Klitschko.
