Chagaev Valuev Fight Postponed

The May 31st rematch title clash between unbeaten WBA heavyweight world champion Ruslan Chagaev and Nicolai Valuev has been rescheduled for July 5Th, 2008. It's been reported that Chageav had come down with a viral infection and was forced to quit preparations for their May 31st encounter.

Chagaev's doctor Dr. Michael Ehnert had this to say:

"Ruslan Chagaev suffers from a protracted virus infection."

"In medical terms it's a viral laryngitis and pharyngitis. For non-doctors, it's a highly feverish viral infection of the upper respiratory tract with heavy symptoms. The medical treatment makes it absolutely necessary that he stop training."

Good luck to Chagaev on a healthy return on July 5Th, and let the best man win.
