During a recent appearance in Germany to promote the dvd release of "Tyson," the former undisputed heavyweight champ Mike Tyson was asked for his opinion on the upcoming Vitali Klitschko-Chris Arreola clash. Tyson told RTL reporters that he predicts a knockout win for the defending champion.

Klitschko defends his crown against Arreola on September 26 at Staples Center in California. Arreola is a heavy underdog in the fight. He plans to come out swinging in the first round and few anticipate the fight going the distance. There are questions marks about Arreola's stamina and ability to last in a tough fight for twelve rounds. Arreola has never gone past the eight round in his pro career.

Klitschko has never been seriously hurt or dropped in any of his pro fights. He does have two defeats on his record. One loss due to cuts when he faced Lennox Lewis and another loss to Chris Byrd after suffering a shoulder injury during the fight. Klitschko was winning both fights on the official cards when they were stopped.
