On May 30th Ruslan Chagaev and Nicolai Valuev will square on in a WBA heavyweight rematch to see who is the true WBA champion.
Ruslan Chagaev was the WBA champ but suffered an injury which gave Nicolai Valuev an opportunity to take the championship by defeating John Ruiz last August. Valuev won and became WBA champion while Chagaev remained WBA champion in recess.
In their 1st outing Chagaev won by decision, but Valuev feels he has what it takes to defeat Chagaev this time around. With the way Chagaev fought against Drummond, I wouldn't doubt if he could pull off the win.
Valuev Quotes
“I have been waiting for two years to make amends. Only a victory over Chagaev can put my mind at rest.”
“I know everything there is to know about Chagaev."
“This is the fourth time I am actually preparing for a fight with him. Now is the time to end all this confusion. There will only be one WBA heavyweight champion after May 30 – and that will be me.”
It should be noted that the WBA belt is the only major belt not held by the Klitschko's, and Vitali Klitschko has expressed great interest in facing the winner of this bout.
