Klitschko vs. Chagaev?

It looks like since David Haye pulled out of his fight for June 20th against current WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, Klitschko's camp is now looking for another opponent and topping that list is WBA "champion in recess" Ruslan Chagaev who himself had to pull out of a rematch title fight with Nicolai Valuev due to not passing his pre-fight medical. Wladimir said something to the effect of getting vaccinated and that not being a problem, but not sure exactly. It was casually mentioned at the end of the video I posted on here. Strange...

If Klitschko vs. Chagaev takes place this would make a good substitution for the fans expecting David Haye on the 20th, plus it will also be for the RING heavyweight title, which will give Wladimir another belt. It also might make negotiations for a match with Valuev in the future easier.

If for some reason Haye still gets to fight they might be ready by July 11th but there are no guarantees whats going to happen. It's up to Wladimir's side whether they feel like waiting another 3 weeks to fight since they already had to wait so long already.

Here's a Setanta Sports video where Bunce talks to Bernd Boente, the manager of Wladmir Klitschko:
