Do they know about this whole Don King situation? They should strip Valuev. They are a joke of an organization.
Yes credit to both fighters. I will be looking forward to this fight. Knowing the WBA they will make the winner of Wlad-Chagaev 'super' champion and make Valuev 'regular' champion. They would get two sanctioning fees from the HW division and King/Valuev will keep their title.
its really a cluster **** over there. Not sure of anything right now...still in talks.. IMO they wont sanction it due to DK not wanting Valuev to have to face Wlad.... we will see
could happen ..... they are a mess over there. Hope it works out and Wlad wins and gets Valuev...I wanna see the tree fall:hey
As disappointed as I am, this is for the best, Wlad can't be expected to wait and wait. The show must go on.
John Ruiz is already the mandatory so unless the plan is to have 3 or 4 mandatories aka the WBC treatment, I expect Wlad will have to take on the Quiet Man first.
I agree. Let David get healthy and maybe it will happen down the road..or maybe Vitali since Wlad will be busy with IBF and WBO mand's
It is the WBA after all - they don't seem intelligent enough to figure out what Don King was doing scheduling the fight in Finland and all, last I heard John Ruiz filed a law-suit to get Chagaev stripped of his 'Champion In Recess' title and install him in a fight against Valuev. If you are guarenteed the Ring belt in this fight - whether the WBA title is on the line or not - then **** the WBA. Don't pay the sanctioning fee, Wlad will still have his Ring Championship and he won't get caught up in the this whole sorry mess involving that joke organization.
ahhhh well, at least it's all been cleared up now. what's the situation with the IBF right now, had wlad still got to defend his title against povetkin by september?
