A press conference was held in Germany to announce a very intriguing bout between two undefeated heavyweights, seven foot and 300 plus pounds of Nicolai Valuev (38-0-29K) will face the very slick Gerald "The Jedi" Nobles (24-0-19K) in a twelve round fight. Valuev is looking at this fight as a stepping tool towards a title fight or a big name opponent, Nobles sees this fight in the same light.
Both fighters have been virtually untested in the ring and this fight will make one guy a contender and the other a pretender. The biggest win on the record of Nobles is against former champion Bruce Seldon and Valuev's biggest win is against former Olympian Paolo Vidoz. Both guys have power, we will see who takes a better punch. The bout will take place in Kempten, Germany on November 20, 2004. [details]
