Golota To Be Given Another Chance, against Valuev
By Rick Reeno
The Chicago Tribune reports that Andrew Golota will be given the opportunity to gain another title shot. Don King has apparently said that he will not give up on Andrew Golota and plans to put him in a WBA elimination bout on August 13th. The bout will take place in the United Center, located in Golota's hometown of Chicago. King said that Golota's opponent is slated to be the 7 foot Nicolay Valuev of Russia. Valuev became the WBA's number one contender upon knocking out Clifford Ettiene on May 14th, 2005.
"I'm not going to give up on Golota, and I hope the Polish people don't. We're going to revitalize Golota's career. He got caught (by Brewster). It could happen to anyone." said King
The bout will be the first televised showcase of Valuev in the United States. The Golota-Valuev encounter will land on the undercard of the WBC eliminator between Monte Barrett and Hasim Rahman, welterweight king Zab Judah is also slated for the show.
Golota needs to just go into hiding somewhere.
he shoulda quit don king must be taking all his money or 95% of it cause no one even mike tyson doesnt deserve that much title shots.if he won those shots he probably would have all the belts available to heavyweights. not cause hes good cause don is on his dick.
Guys guys I know how bad of a boxer Golota is one of the worst if you aske me. But cmon lets just see how the Polski does and if he does well good for him and if he doesn't he whould just fucking quit, cause he's embarassing not only himself but Chicago boxing.
oh man this is going to be nice, I hope Valuev blasts Golota, Golota is a big dude imagine how small hes gona look vs the 7"2 Valuev hahahaha.So this is happening on the Barret Rahman undercard I thought them bums were supposed to fight july 23rd now its August 18th I dont get it Klitschko will be ready to fight winner of rahman-barret on September 23rd so august 18 th and saptember 24 is only a month apart, someone tell me what the hell is goin on here...
Maybe he was thinking that it took a long time for Monte to a shot at a title. Of course he lost to Lance Whitaker and still got to fight Wlad, so there still isn't much to complain about.
lost to whitaker, Wlad and Mesi.
Are you kidding???
He is fighting on Monte Barrett's undercard for the WBC interim belt, which is much more important and a better opportunity than a fight with Valuev for nothing.

I can't believe Golota is going to be ready to fight again that fast.
He must have gone straight back into training.
hahahhahahahhahahahahahh
(this is funny because he didn't train for Brewster and he won't be trained for this fight either)
I wouldn't mind seeing Golota get broke up one more time.
thats bullshit, he gets all these chances and yet fighters like monte barrett get nothing.

Why does it say on Boxrec the fight between Valuev-Golota is for the "WBA international heavyweight title?" I thought Ruiz was the WBA title holder? WTF?
Its like the WBC continental America's title.

King is realy pissing me off, why is there never unification bouts?
valuev is ruiz mandatory so why the hell would he fight golota.
golota had his chance.
id much rather se ruiz-valuv, i would be so much nicer watching ruiz get beaten to a bloddy pulp.
NO the WBA has no mandatory listed Valuev is listed as number 2 and the number 1 position in the WBA rankings is vacant.

Why does Don King have so much love for Andrew Golota ? What did Andrew Golota ever do in the ring to deserve so many title shots? After the Ruiz-Toney match, King was ready to dump Ruiz! Is Golota so much more entertaining than Ruiz? I think not; at least Ruiz doesn't have emotional meltdowns like Golota and he does find a way to win. I personally would rather see a Ruiz-Valuev matchup.

this sounds like a pretty good card.
Ross purrity is getting pretty old maybe Golota can replace him.
this is fight already listed by Boxrec.
"Scheduled Bout date opponent wld last 6 location ticket number
2005-08-13 Andrew Golota 38-6-1
United Center, Chicago, IL, USA
WBA International Heavyweight Title"
So in fact another title shot for Golota.
Andrew Golota
"Scheduled Bout date opponent wld last 6 location ticket number
2005-08-13 Nicolay Valuev 41-0-0
United Center, Chicago, IL, USA
WBA International Heavyweight Title"
hmm
thats bullshit, he gets all these chances and yet fighters like monte barrett get nothing.
Wow...what the hell are complaining for? You all are acting like a nuch of babies. Barrett is getting a hell of a chance by fighting Rahman (a Don King fighter) and if he wins he gets Klitschko.
Golota is facing Valuev. No one cares about this giant monkey. Anyway, Golota was thought to have beaten Ruiz and Byrd by many, so he is just as legit as anyone else at heavyweight.
Stop the cryin' already.
thats bullshit, he gets all these chances and yet fighters like monte barrett get nothing.
agreed. at least it will be funny to see that big ass dude beat the shit out of Golota.
Lou Duva is an overrated trainer, he has nothing on Mayweather Sr.
He trained EVander Holyfield and alot of other good fighters. He is a good trainer for Golota I know that. Duva has trained more Champion fighters than Mayweather Sr has.
