New mandatory challenger for EBU heavyweight champ Vladimir Virchis is none other than former WBA heavyweight ruler Nikolai Valuev. The deadline for pursebids is July 30. A Virchis vs. Valuev showdown is a very interesting matchup. The Ukrainian is big enough and can punch hard enough to score an upset over Valuev, who needs to do a lot better than he did against Chagaev if he is to make it back to the top. Virchis, it must be noted, has not made any mandatory defenses of the title he won in July of last year.
