[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ruslan Chagaev, who tore his Achilles tendon in his left ankle last week and was forced to withdraw from a July 5 mandatory defense Nikolai Valuev in Germany, has been given an extension by the sanctioning body until the end of June 2009. Chagaev will have to defend his title by June 26 of next year against the mandatory challenger or face the possibility of being stripped. [details]

What a load of crap. They should just strip him now. All he's doing is holding up a huge unification bout between Wlad and Haye.

This is bull****, another year? Ruiz in another title fight? WBA has had these 3 winning belts from each other for a few years now.

[MANGLER]

I didn't know that David (Haye) had a title? Or did you mean, a hw and cw unification bout?...

[The Hammer]

Valuev vs. Ruiz II for an interim title should be an intriquing matchup.

Ruiz and intriguing are oxymoron...

lmaooo, i knew it was a matter of time before someone said something about the Haye comment. I was just kidding, that's just a dream match up (that's IF Haye gets any titles)
