LOS ANGELES, September 27 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine's Vitali Klitschko retained his WBC heavyweight title on Saturday night after beating previously undefeated challenger Cris Arreola with a technical knockout in the 10th round.

"Dr. Ironfist" Klitschko (38-2, 36 KOs) retired in November 2005 with a knee injury, but announced his comeback last year. He regained his WBC belt in October last year in Germany, defeating Samuel Peter, dubbed the Nigerian Nightmare.

Shortly after his victory over Juan Carlos Gomez of Cuba (44-2, 35 KOs) in March, Vitaly said: "the Klitschko brothers want to have all four of the heavyweight titles. We have three and only one is left. I want to fight Nikolai Valuev."

Vitaly's brother Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs) is currently the WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion.
