Chagaev vs Valuev Rematch is Heading To Finland

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Helsinki´s Hartwall-Arena will host the first-ever heavyweight title fight on Scandinavian soil when WBA champion Nikolai Valuev takes on Ruslan Chagaev in an eagerly anticipated rematch on May 30. The Russian Giant (50-1, 34 KOs) is determined to avenge the only loss of his career. “The day has come to settle the score,” Valuev said. “I have been waiting for two years to make amends. Only a victory over Chagaev can put my mind at rest.”

Couldn't give a ****.

The fight could be moved to my back garden and I wouldn't even look out the window.

Valuev is a disgrace.

The Asikainen-Ghevor fight got a good crowd there, I'm not sure if Chagaev-Valuev can get the same turn out. Anyways, the arena looks like a good boxing venue.

I could care less about Andre The Giant Jr and some bum fighting...

[Pugilistic™]

I can't wait for this one.

Two top heavyweights are gonna battle it out.

Looks like Themanchine has a chance to watch a HW title fight.

I know he's a big fan of Valuev.

[Walt Liquor]

Awesome, now they can watch the fight OR watch the glaciers melt. Should be exciting.

[PittyPat]

Whoa, cool! As a half-Finn myself living in London, I now have some interest in this fight. :laff2:

Looks like Themanchine has a chance to watch a HW title fight.

I know he's a big fan of Valuev.

TheManchine doesn't like any European fighters, especially those from the former Soviet republics. And Valuev is probably the worst European fighter to watch, a giant without power, so I doubt if he will attend.

I wish Chagaev would KO Valuev, but it's not going to happen. There's a chance he may win another decision...

And then we'll have Ruiz against the winner.

The division needs new blood badly.
