Wladimir Klitschko Recovering From Minor Shoulder Surgery, Will Likely Be Out Of Acti

by James Slater - It looks like the remainder of 2009's heavyweight world title action will come from WBC champion Vitali Klitschko and WBA ruler Nikolia Valuev. According to his manager, Bernd Boente, in speaking to ESPN.com yesterday, IBF and WBO king Wladimir Klitschko will probably be out of action until spring of next year.

According to Boente, who spoke with Dan Rafael, "Dr Steel Hammer" injured his left shoulder during his dominant, one-sided stoppage win of Ruslan Chagaev back in June. Minor tendon surgery was necessary and Wladimir is now in rehabilitation..

"His rehab is going well, making good progress," Boente told ESPN.

As has been reported, Klitschko was in talks with his WBO mandatory challenger, "Fast" Eddie Chambers, and a talked of date for the two fighting one another was December. However, this now looks extremely unlikely, due to the shoulder injury and, as Boente says, a lack of available American T.V dates for the rest of this year.

"We want U.S TV to be on board," Boente said.

The new target date for Klitschko-Chambers is thought to be some time in the spring of 2010, although it will depend on Wladimir's healing process and available arena and TV dates.

This is slightly depressing news, it must be said. Wladimir is on a roll right now, and his dominance has continued. Chambers was really looking forward to testing the Ring magazine champion, and the fans were looking forward to seeing yet another promising U.S heavyweight getting his shot at a world title - unbeaten Chris Arreola being the other one, facing big brother Vitali as he is on September 26th.

The September fight, and maybe a November date between WBA champ Nikolai Valuev and Britain's David Haye, will now be the only heavyweight title action we will get to see out the year. But with the WBA still having to reach a decision as to whether or not they will sanction Valuev-Haye as a title bout, there could be just one further "world" title fight up at heavyweight this year.

It will be interesting to see if Philadelphia's Chambers will take another fight in the meantime as he waits for his date with destiny; after all a potential seven or eight months is a long time in which to remain idle. And how will the layoff affect Wladimir's sharpness?

Knowing Chambers, he will likely opt to box another fight as he waits for his big chance. Klitschko-Chambers will surely now be one of the fights to look forward to in the first quarter of 2010

Did Kellerman Justify a Decision Citing the Market Place

By Bill Ethan (SBB) - Following the controversial Diaz / Malignaggi decision HBO boxing analyst Max Kellerman was first spotted by Juan Diaz before slickly sided stepping Paulie Malignaggi’s direct question on the scoring of the fight. The interview started with Kellerman questioning Diaz. “Juan, lets start with you. That was a lot of fun to watch. How was it to fight?” “Isn’t it always fun to watch Max.” “It’s always fun to watch, Juan.” But when it’s your job to analyze the fight and your questioned please stand up like the you have described and give the fight fan what they expect lets us know where you stand. Kellerman instead slips the shot like Willie Pep..

Then after saying, “everyone deserves a faire shake and there is no excuse for a fighter for not getting a fair shake under any circumstances. However; the marketplace spoke tonight, Paulie Malignaggi it’s not as though he could have not cultivated an ethnic following in New York. He has to some degree an Italian fighting out of New York city but given his style and his lack of punching power he has not been able to cultivate the kind following that Juan Diaz has been able to here in Houston with a Mexican and Mexican American fight crowd that really appreciates and just fight fans generally that really appreciates his style of fighting the fact that every Juan Diaz fight is always exciting and so for that reason Juan Diaz winds up with the powerful promoter and the hometown decision, possibly if you consider this a hometown decision and so even thought every fighter deserves always fair shake I think here the market place spoke and Juan Diaz gets the nod.”

Does “However” mean the marketplace in now a judge or the hometown fans vote or did he even hint that an ethnic following somehow should influence a decision? We all know it does each fighter following and that the size of the following is what makes a fighter attractive to a promoter but to insinuate that it should some how play in a decision is just wrong. After the fight Diaz was very humble even calling for applause for Malignaggi.

When Malignaggi was interviewed he asked Kellerman about the scoring and Kellerman responded that “ringside Harold Ledderman had scored it 7-5, I thought that was about right, I thought it was competitive”. Paulie questions 7-5 me, Kellerman responds “Harold did have that.” He himself never commits.

Maybe it’s not his job but HBO analyst Lennox Lewis put himself on the line calling it for Malignaggi and analyst Bob Papa appearing surprised at Kellermans rant said “it was a one or two point fight either way, or possibly a draw” and with all that said it was great performance by Juan Diaz and Paulie Malignaggi.

I agree with Bob it was a good fight by both fighters and I scored it a draw. There were no big rounds either way with Diaz scoring the higher number of power punches 123-80 and Malignaggi controlling the action with his jab 2-1 (111-55). There were no knockdowns, no real big rounds and the biggest punch of the fight was a Malignaggi right cutting Diaz left eye I had it a draw.

Now after questioning Kellerman’s marketplace reasoning I almost feel like a punk scoring the fight a draw. But after a very close fight with Malignaggi knowing all he said about fighting in his opponent’s hometown he should have put it all on the line in the final round. But that gives him a draw, not a loss or an excuse for his lose or his verbal run on after the bout. But backing up my call if he wins the last round he wins the fight. To even suggest that a promotional backing or a market place has influence on the decision and it its still a fair shake would only add to the list of reasons people like Senator John McCain call for boxing reform. Max call it what it was an unfair scoring.

All that aside while assuming the market place doesn’t submit a scorecard if there was ever a call for a rematch this would be it. How would Diaz or the market place or his promotional company (Golden Boy) feel about a rematch in the Madison Square Garden. On that note, to his credit Golden Boy promoter Oscar DeLaHoya questioned the lopsided scoring following the bout.

Hopefully this slip was a time restraint or something Max is usually right on.

Good shit.........Now they just need to overturn the Pauli/Diaz fight and all will be right.



Timothy Bradley-Nate Campbell Decision Overturned

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com was advised that the California State Athletic Commission overturned Nate Campbell's third round technical knockout loss to Timothy Bradley. The result has been changed to a no-contest. The fight, held on August 1 at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California, was stopped at the end of the third round after Campbell was unable to see due to a serious cut above his left eye.

The cut was caused by a cut but the ref, David Mendoza, failed to rule it as such. After the fight, a replay showed that Campbell's cut was opened up by a clash of heads. Mendoza tried to claim that it was Bradley's punches after the clash of heads that opened up the cut.

Marquez vs Mayweather: Admit it, you want Marquez to win

By Paul Strauss: Leading up to September 19th, most boxing fans and experts cringe when thinking about the very real possibility of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. walking away with a victory over Juan Manuel Marquez. Most experts and fans begrudgingly realize if the heavily favored "Mouth that Never Shuts" wins, he will grow even more obnoxious, if that's possible. When fans think of the advantages this Lost Wages, IRS loving Snurge enjoys, their skin crawls. They know the noble warrior Marquez has to overcome many gifts on the Money side.

Conjure up some and you begin to wonder why Marquez would even risk taking the fight. At first glance, everything seems to line up on the side of the Counterfeit Currency Champ. He's naturally bigger and stronger. He will enjoy a slight height advantage, but big reach advantage. He is faster, both with his footwork and hand speed.. He is more elusive, and has never been in a real ring war, so he has never suffered the lasting physical scars and damage that type of combat can inflict. Also, he has never lost, so he has that supreme confidence in his abilities. He's a gym rat, and has been since a young age, so even though he has had a lay-off, he has continued to work out hard, and maintains his sharpness. He also equals any fighter in his mental preparations for a fight. He has seen just about every style and technique that's out there, and he knows how to deal with them all. He can box from a distance, using his great foot speed and pot-shot his opponent. He can use that foot speed to close distances and strike like lightning before his opponent can react, leaving them wondering what the hell just happened. He can rough up those who think they're tough customers. He can muscle them, use leverage and let them run into his forearm or elbow, or maybe even the heel of his glove if necessary. And of course, there are the clever, hard and accurate counters that cause fighters to start thinking, "I can't beat this guy!"

All this stimulates the unthinkable, "Realistically, what the hell kind of chance does Marquez have?" Was his agreement to take this fight foolish or was he just looking for a payday? Is he hoping against hope that he might be able to land a lucky punch, or glancing blow that might cause a fight ending cut? Surely he remembers being down four times in his fights against the Pac Man? He doesn't have to see the replay of his fight with Barrera to know that what was deemed a slip was really a knockdown, and that he was in serious trouble. Surely he remembers having trouble with fast, good boxers such as Chris John?

This is getting depressing. Just how badly in favor of Mayweather are the odds going to be? Let's take a quick second look at the main points for those of you not paying attention. He's taller and has a big reach advantage. He's faster. He's a better boxer. He's more elusive. He's never been seriously hurt by cuts, or badly bruised up in a tough fight. He's always in great shape. He's a student of the game. He is supremely confident, and he's never been beaten. Throw the towel in now and resign yourselves into the hopelessness of the situation.

For crying out loud, all this must mean there's only sympathy left for Marquez? It's obvious he has unrealistic aspirations, right?. He must be delusional! Has he managed to seclude himself to the extent that he's managed to avoid reading the opinions of all the experts? Has he been in the game for all of these years and failed to follow the career of the Cash Cow? How can this man remain unfazed and underwhelmed by all the Money Monger hype?

Equally important, why do you want him to win? Is it just because he's an overwhelming underdog? Or, do you want him to win because of your dislike for the Chump of Dysfunction. Or, do you not so much want Marquez to win, as you want Cloudy Weather to lose? It certainly can't be because you realistically think he can win? How's that possible with all that's been said? Now who is delusional!

Wait, you bellow! There really are "chinks" in the armor of the Blighty Little Mercenary. He can be made to fold and fall. He can be made to slip and stumble. Marquez believes this to be true, and many of you do as well. He and you fans know the Artful Dodger carefully maneuvered his way around the likes of Miquel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley and Paul Williams to name a few, while Marquez anxiously sought to make big fights. He and you fans know the Braggart had to have a reason for those tactics. Is Little Floyd as confident as he might have us believe? Could it be that Juan and you fans were watching when Zab Judah when he landed a good counter right hook that caused Flaying Payday's demeanor to wilt a bit and for his glove to touch the canvas? Could it be that JMM and you know Oscar had Floyd beat if only he would have kept firing his jab? Maybe it's because Dinamita and you know that Junior has never fought anyone that fires off punches with the kind of accuracy JMM has demonstrated? Or, it could be that you and JMM know Fleeing Floyd has never come up against an opponent who is such a master of managing distance and will be countering his counters? Ask Joel Casamayor about that. Could it be that you believe JMM is capable of feinting the feints of the Grand Salami of Moolah? Could it be that you believe JMM has already proved he can deal with speed, as evidenced in his great fights with the real P4P champ. Could it be that JMM is supremely confident because he knows that he has already overcome great adversity and been victorious?

JMM and you also know there's no such thing as a "Sure Thing". The people who believe that are the ones who have gambling problems. To use an electrical metaphor, JMM is properly "grounded". There will be no power surge made against him. He is emotionally stable, in control and not subject to all the hype. Call it an intangible if you want, but it's just as important as any of the other gifts, even if The Spoiled One thinks he is "one" (gift) to the world. When JMM's gloved hand is raised in victory, you will be shouting out like Peter in Peter and the Wolf, when the wolf is no longer a threat (or howling)........"Oh, happy days!"

Paulie Malignaggi - "I Knew I'd School Juan Diaz"

Exclusive Interview by James Slater- Almost everyone who saw Paulie Malignaggi's catch-weight fight with Juan Diaz this past Saturday felt "The Magic Man" was unfairly treated by the judges. Malignaggi had spoken BEFORE the fight about his concerns regarding his getting robbed, and now the 28-year-old cannot help but say "I told you so!"

All are agreed that the 12-round unanimous decision awarded to Diaz was a debatable verdict at best, and another black eye for boxing at worst - the quite ludicrous score of 118-110 that was turned in by judge Gale Van Hoy particularly annoyed both the experts and Malignaggi himself. Yesterday evening (UK time) I had the opportunity to speak with Paulie as he was driving in his car. Still fuming about that happened to him this past Saturday in Texas, the former IBF light-welterweight champion was kind enough to take the time to give me the following answers to my questions.

James Slater: I really appreciate your time, Paulie. Obviously everyone is still talking about last Saturday's controversial decision. What is you immediate plan - do you plan to appeal, do you want a rematch or are you so mad you've even thought about hanging up the gloves?

Paulie Malignaggi: The best case scenario for me would be a rematch. I'm sure the fans would demand it, and I'm sure the TV networks would be interested in a second fight - I'm sure HBO would want it. It was a good fight, it was an exciting fight and I'm sure everyone would like to se it again. But you have to ask Juan Diaz; would a rematch be a worthwhile option for him? I don't feel like I have to avenge a loss, because I know I never lost that fight. I think Diaz has to avenge his loss..

J.S: Most people think you out-boxed Diaz and won. Did he ever hurt you in the fight?

P.M: No. Diaz is not a big puncher, he's more of a volume puncher with a high work-rate. But the controversy regarding this fight started before the fight. I said to the media that this would happen [a bad decision going against me]. I knew going in I didn't like who the judges were but I had no choice. I gave up a lot of things going into the fight - I agreed to the weight, I agreed the size of the ring, and I accepted who the officials were going to be. I asked one more time if the officials could be changed, but it fell on deaf ears. This is what's killing the sport. One writer in particular, who writes for a big publication but will remain nameless, he wrote about what I was saying before the fight, my concerns. But he just wrote that what I was saying might be right, or then again I might just be making excuses up. This is a guy who has a position of power whereby he could try and change things, yet he acts like an imbecile! With people like that we'll never fix boxing. And there are unfortunately too many people with positions of power who are like that. Here I am telling people what was gonna happen BEFORE the fight, and it happens, and I'm like, "I told you!" But it all fell on deaf ears going into the fight.

J.S: You did say you felt there was a very good chance you'd get robbed, and you did. But did you think the scoring would be as bad as it was? I mean, 118-110!

P.M: It was worse than I thought, yes. I mean, Gale Van Hoy's score was terrible, and Van Hoy has a terrible reputation too. Texas has a terrible reputation - going back as far as the Julio Cesar Chavez-Pernell Whitaker fight that was ludicrously scored a draw. And more recently the Chris John-Rocky Juarez draw - which most people felt John won clearly. It's a real risk fighting in Texas against a local fighter. I put the cuts on Diaz with punches, not with butts. I was warned again and again for hitting him with my elbow, but I was pushing him off with my forearm. I was not fouling Juan Diaz. Texas in general has a bad record. I didn't want to go there, but I did because I had no choice, but it still doesn't make it right what happened. I'm so angry now because I pleaded before the fight to at least give me a fighting chance by changing one or more of the officials. And again, this is what's killing boxing I think.

J.S: One good thing that did come out of the fight is the fact that you looked back to your best. All the media agreed afterwards that this was your best showing in years. That must please you at least?

P.M: I knew all along I'd school Juan Diaz. It was no coincidence [my good showing] that it came with my new trainer. No disrespect to Buddy McGirt, but I told everyone I was getting worse and worse as a fighter with him. You could see it, just look at my fights with Herman Ngoudjo and Lovemore N' dou the second time - I was barely winning my fights. Compare the first minute of the first round of the Hatton fight with the first minute of the first round again Diaz. How much sharper I looked, my jab, my balance, everything. You know, people said that I was just making excuses and blaming it all on Buddy, they said I was a cry baby. But I knew I was right, yet people still hate on me. I'm always right about boxing, when it's my boxing I'm talking about. Trust me, I know what's best for me.

J.S: If you can't get a rematch with Diaz, who else would you like to fight?

P.M: If I can't get Diaz again I'd like a rematch with Ricky Hatton. With my new trainer and me back to my best and fighting my fight, he'd be lucky to win two rounds against me. I don't mean any disrespect because I like Ricky, but I had no business losing to him in the first place. I'd even go to England to do it if possible. I think both rematches [Diaz and Hatton] are a long way off, but they're the two fights I want.

J.S: Would the possibility of being robbed in the UK worry you?

P.M: Well that could be a possibility, but I trust England a lot more than I trust Texas (laughs). The UK is one of the best places to fight because of the atmosphere. The British fans really enjoy themselves and that's what you want when you go to see a fight, a good time. England is the most enjoyable place I've fought at in my career.

J.S: There is early talk that Hatton may fight Diaz. Who wins in your opinion?

P.M: I don't think Hatton is as big a puncher as they say. I believe he's stronger than Diaz, but Diaz is a more busy fighter. I'd pick Diaz. I think he's a more complete fighter.

J.S: Did you consider retiring after getting robbed against Diaz? Did it cross your mind at all?

P.M: I love boxing and I always will. Even though I hate it as well, I'll always love it. I compare it to the first love of your life, your first girlfriend. I've grown to be disgusted by it, with all the politics and the people surrounding the sport, but at the same time I'm hooked by it and can't let it go - just like that first love. And despite all the bad things that go with it, boxing is the most noble of sports, it really is. So I'm not going to walk away. And also, I make a living with boxing. That's how I make my money. So you'll see Paulie Malignaggi in the ring for a few more years, but not too many more (laughs).

J.S: Well, we look forward to your next fight. Thanks for talking to me, Champ.

P.M: You're welcome. Bye

Kell Brook Wants Miguel Cotto But Jennings Is First

British sensation Kell Brook says he's ready for the likes of top pound-for-pounder Miguel Cotto right now - and he'll prove it by knocking out Michael Jennings. The pair meet in a mouthwatering clash at the Liverpool Echo Arena on October 30, with Brook's British welterweight title on the line. And the champion has vowed to do a better job on Jennings than Cotto did earlier this year. The Puerto Rican halted Jennings in five rounds in a clash for the WBO World Welterweight title in the States and now has a mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao on November 14 in Las Vegas..

But KO artist Brook, who has won all four of his British title fights with early stoppages, has vowed to blast Jennings out even quicker.

"I am ready for Miguel Cotto now," said 23-year-old Special K. "I am going to do a better performance than Cotto, I am going to get Jennings out of there before Cotto did.

"I am on a high at the moment, but no one has really brought the best out of me yet, and I promise everyone that haven't seen anything yet.

"I am a top level fighter and I am ready for the best out there - I know what I can do in the gym.

"People have seen the guys that I have been fighting and have been saying that I am going to beat them on points, but I have been doing a job on them early.

"I am ready to go to the next level and I am ready to go to the top."

With his third-round victory against Michael Lomax in Manchester in July, Brook secured a Lonsdale belt outright in just his 20th fight.

And he says that there's no way he's giving up his British title to Jennings.

"I could have by-passed Jennings, but I've always wanted this fight," said Brook.

"When I first turned professional Michael was one of the top guys out there, and I've always wanted to fight him.

"He's a good kid and I haven't got a bad word to say about him, but he's going to get beat.

"He's a great technical boxer and his name has always been up there, but he's no threat to me, no threat at all.

"When I was young I dreamed about winning the British title, and it's a dream come true to actually have the belt outright so I can show my kids and my grandkids.

"It's the best belt in the world and it's not going anyw

Mayweather Will Struggle With Marquez, Says Paco

Mark Vester

During the recent WBO convention in Hungary, WBO president Paco Valcarcel predicted that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will have some struggles during his September 19 meeting with current WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez. Marquez moves up by nearly two weight division to meet Mayweather at 144-pounds. Many see the fight as an easy night of work for Mayweather but not Paco. He predicts that Mayweather will have his hands full with making the weight. Mayweather has not fought below the welterweight limit for several years.

"I believe that Mayweather is going to have more problems than many expect by moving down to 144-pounds. When he accepted the fight, I knew that it wasn't going to be easy for him to make the negotiated weight. Another problem for Mayweather is being inactive for such a long time. He won't have his usual rhythm during the fight. Those two points can be vital in this battle," Paco told ESTO.

Paco believes that Marquez has more than enough tools to overcome Mayweather.

"Marquez, I consider him to be one of the most intelligent boxers that there is. He knows how to solve big problems in the ring and above all else, he is a warrior. He has a lot of tangibles and he elevates himself in big fights," Paco said.

Mayweather Threat Alleged By Victim Prior to Shooting

By Mark Vester

While he isn’t a suspect right now, things may change in the future with the way the investigation is playing out. Quincey Williams, 24, the target of a Monday night shooting outside of the Las Vegas Boulder Highway roller rink, has alleged that Floyd Mayweather Jr. threatened his life less than an hour before shots were fired in the parking lot.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Williams encountered Mayweather at the Crystal Palace Skating Center on Sunday night. Mayweather immediately confronted him over a text message that was sent two months ago. In the text message, Williams told Mayweather that he hoped he would lose.

Williams claims Mayweather told during the confrontation - "He's got enough money to get me hit." Williams said Mayweather was at the rink with two bodyguards. When Williams left with a friend about 30 to 45 minutes after the confrontation, several shots were fired at their car. The shots came from the direction of Mayweather and his bodyguards, who were also in the parking lot. Williams did not see the shooter and nobody was injured.

Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell confirmed to the paper that Mayweather has been cooperative in their investigation and currently he is not a suspect in the shooting. Police are looking for a "known associate" of Mayweather Promotions, who goes under the nickname of "O.C."

Williams blasted police for not arresting Mayweather.

"I don't understand why they went to his house and didn't arrest him," Williams said. "Floyd knows who he is. He works for Floyd."

Roach: "Manny Pacquiao Will Expose Miguel Cotto"

By T.K. Stewart

While Manny Pacquiao plays the lead role in a movie currently being filmed in the Philippines, his opponent on Nov. 14th, WBO welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto, has already begun light training in his native Puerto Rico for the fight that is still over 11 weeks away.

Pacquiao won't begin his fight preparations for another few weeks, but exactly where he will do so is still a question that has yet to be answered. Pacquiao typically trains within the friendly confines of Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California.

However, a complicated Internal Revenue Service rule known as the “substantial presence test” mandates that non-resident aliens can only spend a certain number of days in the United States. If a person exceeds that number of days in a three-year period, they are considered a resident for tax purposes and their income is taxed accordingly. Pacquiao is dangerously close to exceeding the number of days allowed and he can only spend another month in the United States this year – before it would cost him millions in additional income tax.

“The IRS rule says that Manny can only be here in America for another three weeks or so,” said his trainer Freddie Roach, speaking to BoxingScene.com from the Wild Card Gym. “I thought Bob [Arum] might find a way around it. But they tell me they can't, so we're going to have to go someplace else.”

For the past several weeks, where that “someplace else” will be has been the topic of great speculation. In total, Pacquiao is going to have an eight-week long training camp for the Cotto fight.

“The three weeks he's allowed here will be two weeks here at the Wild Card and another week in Las Vegas,” explained Roach. “I'm hearing the Philippines, maybe Vancouver [British Columbia, Canada] maybe Mexico. We'll find someplace, so be it.”

According to Roach, “Manny will have the final say” on the training location. Various reports emanating from the Pacquiao inner circle suggest he may head back to the Philippines after the American press tour for the fight concludes on Sept. 14th. Two cities in the Philippines being mentioned are Baguio and Cebu.

The vagabond nature of the training camp doesn't seem to be bothering Roach much. As usual he is supremely confident that Pacquiao will again be the winner when the dust settles.


“I'm expecting Cotto to be at his best,” said Roach. “But Pacquiao is at the top of his game right now. I'm expecting Cotto to be more resilient than Oscar and Hatton were, so he'll give us a better fight than those two guys did. The biggest thing with Cotto is that he's a strong guy, but Manny's not going to stand in front of him and trade. I feel that we'll be able to expose Cotto. His skills aren't quite where they used to be and we're going to expose him

Valuev-Haye To Go Ahead On November 7th, John Ruiz Agrees To Step Aside

by James Slater - David Haye and his team can rest easy with regards to his upcoming fight with Nikolai Valuev. At one point, due to the intended actions of former WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz, it looked as though there would be a good chance Haye would see his third fight in a row fall apart, and have to sit and watch "The Quiet Man" face the current WBA belt holder instead of him.

Ruiz, who has a position as the WBA's mandatory challenger at heavyweight, made it clear he would not sit idle and allow "The Hayemaker" to fight the 7-foot Russian giant ahead of him. However, according to BBC news, the Valuev-Haye fight is to go ahead as originally planned because Ruiz has agreed to step aside. So Haye, who pulled out of two fights with the Klitschko brothers, firstly Wladimir and then Vitali, will at last get to fight for a world heavyweight belt this year.

"There's no problem with the Valuev-Haye bout, everything has been sorted," Valuev's manager, Chris Meyer said. "We have struck a deal with Team Ruiz to step aside. Our attorneys are just putting it in writing. Once this contract has been signed, we will submit the necessary papers to the WBA by the end of this week.."

Thus speculation of yet another scrapped fight in the agonisingly slow heavyweight career of David Haye ends. Fans, many of whom have already let their impatience with Haye's heavyweight adventure be known, could not have tolerated another let down.

According to the BBC article, this latest news means the fight will in all likelihood be one that is sanctioned by the WBA for the title. There hade been some talk that maybe the fight would go ahead, but as a non-title bout. Haye now has in his sights the opportunity to fulfil a dream he has had since he was a small boy. No venue has been announced yet, but the fight will go ahead in Germany on November 7th.

By fight time, both men will have been out for a considerable amount of time - Haye since last November, Valuev since last December. How much a factor ring rust will be for one or both men remains to be seen.

As for Ruiz, who has lost two very closely fought and somewhat debatable decision losses to Valuev, it is thought he will box against an as yet unknown opponent on November's under-card. Most likely, though not yet confirmed officially, Ruiz would then get first crack at the headlining fight's winner.
