    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chagaev to return in May?[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Monday, October 29 2007[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]By Alexey Sukachev [/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]WBA heavyweight titleholder Ruslan Chagaev (23-0-1, 17 KOs) of Uzbekistan will be back into the squared ring in May, 2007, says the vice-president of the Uzbek Boxing Federation Donnier Ergashev through the SportReport media portal. According to Mr. Ergashev, the agreement between the champion, his promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl of Universum Box-Promotion, and the local sanctioning body was reached recently during the meeting in Tashkent, Uzbek capital. The fight will most likely land Chagaev’s Motherland at still unclear venue in May, 2008. The exact date and the future opponent will be announced later. Mr. Ergashev also confirmed that Ruslan’s title would be at stake during that fight and that the corresponding approval to move Chagaev’s deadline for mandatory defense to the summer of 2008 was received from WBA representatives. Rumors are held that Chagaev could next face one of three Ukrainian WBA-ranked heavyweights – Taras Bidenko (#5), Wladimir Virchis (#7), or Alexander Dimitrenko (#10).[/FONT]

    Looks to me like he wanted out of a title unification so he could fight a lucrative easy opponent before his mandatory.

    Boy oh boy is this a trend...

    I think Chagaev is fighting Michael Morrer in May.

    Moorer is ranked 6th in the WBA.

    Some good comments, thus far. LOL

    Yes, I gotta agree. May is rediculous, seeing as how they already said he was over his illness and was ready to start trraining weeks ago, as I recall.

    Chag can **** away his title reign holding his title hostage, and then finally coming back, only to fight someone meaningless.

    At least he's not retiring and he's an exciting fighter so I don't see what the problem is.

    He is a good fighter, who had one of the most exciting fights of the year with Valuev this past April. I cant wait for his return, the heavywieght division needs exciting fighters like him and Peter.

    Too many so called heavyweight champions that fight only once a year.
