    Heavyweight contender Cristobal Arreola will stay busy with his fourth fight of the year -- and third since mid-May -- when he fights July 9 in Atlantic City, N.J., promoter Dan Goossen told ESPN.com Monday night.

    Arreola will face Las Vegas-based Nigeria native Friday Ahunanya (24-7-3, 13 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout. It will take place on the undercard of the Paul Williams-Erislandy Lara junior middleweight bout, which headlines an HBO "Boxing After Dark" card.

    Goossen said HBO, although not televising Arreola's bout, will show highlights. The opening fight of the HBO doubleheader will be junior featherweight titlist Akifumi Shimoda (23-2-1, 10 KOs) of Japan in a mandatory defense against California's Rico Ramos (19-0, 10 KOs).
