The March continues for WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev (45-0, 33KOs), who is tentatively scheduled to return to the ring on January 27 against an opponent yet to be announced, but the seven-foot giant would like for it to be against one of the other three heavyweight champions.

The bout is scheduled for German TV, but there is no word on whether or not the fight will be held in the United States, or if one of the major American networks like like HBO or Showtime will televise.

Wilfried Sauerland, Valuev's manager and co-promoter, said his fighter wants to be more active than the other champions, and will fight on a regular basis.

"He doesn't like to take long rests," Sauerland said. "For him, it's better if he keeps a rhythm."
