Chagaev to defend against Pianeta AND Oquendo BEFORE mandatory against Browne

I'd like to see Chagaev fight Browne next. But if there was a rematch clause in the Chagaev vs Oquendo contract it should be honoured surely? Or is there no honour left in boxing?

 

Hearing Lucas Browne is becoming increasingly frustrated with his management.

 

Lucas Browne is accusing his management of providing the media with updates before they tell him and he's not happy about it.

 

Tua and Bean sitting down to battle would be something to see.

 

This Chagaev - Oquendo thing doesn't look like playing out quickly.

Chagaev's promoter, Terek Box Event, and its principal Timur Dugazaev, have issued a press release stating that "there will be no rematch between Chagaev and Oquendo" and that Dugazaev will "sue Oquendo in Moscow for returning the purse as stated in the contract."

In response to the press release, Oquendo's lawyer, Judd Burstein, has requested a conference with Judge Abrams for permission to make a motion to have the Court appoint a private prosecutor to go after Terek and Dugazaev for criminal contempt.

Meanwhile Lucas Browne who was all set to fight Chagaev for he title is left twiddling his thumbs and probably soon in need of an opponent.

 

Hearing Lucas Browne may have been paid stand aside money to not fight Ruslan Chagaev. Surely he wouldn't have accepted stand aside money?

 

Chagaev will fight on June 27th in Germany in an optional defence against an as yet unnamed opponent BEFORE he fights Browne.

The word is the Browne vs Chagaev fight, should Chagaev beat TBA first, will take place in either Moscow or Grozny.

 

It is beyond ridiculous. Perhaps Browne has received stand aside money? It would all fit.
