    The former contender for the title of world heavyweight champion Mariusz Wach (31-1, 17 KOs) did not accept the offer fight with Luis Ortiz (22-0, 19 KOs). The duel would take place on August 8 at a gala held in Indio, California, by a group of Golden Boy Promotions.

    - I got such a proposal, but after a short consultation with my headquarters, not accepted this fight. The last time I was on antibiotics, not trained. Only from next week I move with the preparations. I'd have three weeks to train, so there was no point at all costs to take the duel. If you would get adequate time to prepare, that I would willingly accepted the fight, but now this time it was far too little - commented in an interview with ringpolska.pl Wach.

    - Now I'm probably closest to the fight with Martin Rekowski, but I look forward to kindly confirm the duel - said the boxer from Krakow, who last boxed in June.

    Looking for Ustinov to stop Walker within 6. Anything longer than that would be a disappointment.

    Ruslan Chagaev - 111.6 kg; Francesco Pianeta - 110 kg.Apparently Pianeta was trim and Chagev little bit chubby.

    246 lbs. That's Arreola level flabby. This is Pianeta's big chance to make a name for himself; we'll see if he's up to it.

    Hmmm.. let me guess, Chagaev get the decision and Pianeta get suspended for illegal steroids in his blood.

    In some months Chagaevs people say they gonna fight a big name but after half a year that change to a B or C- level opponent.
