The fight is not officially confirmed but the word going around is that former WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev, 28-2-1, will take on American veteran Billy "The Kid" Zumbrun, 25-12, in a non-title encounter on Saturday, April 21st, in Schwerin on Universum´s big show headed by Balzsay vs. Sartison.
The 33-year old Chagaev lost a close decision to Alexander Povetkin in a fight for the WBA regular title last year and he's looking to get back into the picture. He beat Kertson Manswell in January and by keeping busy he will remain in the ratings.
