Chagaev vs. Valuev rematch - Entire Show Called Off!

[BattlingNelson]

I understand the different promotors involved here but the reality is this kind of thing will create a perception about fighting in Germany not about fighting a Universum fighter.

If the something similar happened here in the USA I don't think it would satisfy Euro fans to say "Well it's no big deal to come here to fight Pavlik cause it was Goosen-Tutor who paid off the Doctors not Top Rank.......

It probably will in the general public yes. In reality the difference between Kohl and Sauerland is like Arum and King. They are both crooked but in different ways....

Still if Kohl knew he looks really bad and I'm sure something's got to give in german boxing following this scandal.

HAaaahhahahahaha

Yes, who gave a danm anyway and who gives a danm about Valuev fighting Ruiz next either.

[Fox McCloud]

This is ****ing bull****.

Bring Ibragimov back and put Chagaev in retirement... this is sickening how many times this has happened.

All Finnish boxers will probably be fighting on Saturday, possibly against different opponents.

Brewster supposedly declined the offer to fight Valuev on a short notice, Meehan on the other hand agreed but his promoter Don King had not arrived to Finland yet and thus the fight could not be made.

Chagaev's camp does not understand the cancellation

- The fight was cancelled because Chagaev could not fulfill the medical demands of the Finnish Boxing Commission, told the commission's secretary Pertti Augustin.

A contagious illness was detected in Chagaev, which was B-hepatitis. Augustin could not comment any further.

Chagaev's backing organization Universum, which confirmed the B-hepatitis, is surprised by the situation. According to it Chagaev's illness is not contagious.

- We do not understand the decision, we think that Chagaev can fight. He has the type of B-hepatitis which is not contagious, because the amount of virus is so slight. We informed the biggest boxing commission's about this over five years ago and they accepted the situation. After that several tests have been performed and nothing has changed, says Universum's Georg Nolte.

Valuev's backing organization Sauerland and Chagaev's backers Universum had discussions about whether Valuev wants to take the risk and compete against Chagaev. Valuev declined.

- This is a big shock and a huge disappointment. I'm especially disappointed for the organizers of the show, I know how big this is for them. Now we are thinking where Valuev will have his next fight and we are still considering Finland, states Sauerland-leader Wilfried Sauerland.

What a bunch of garbage from these dirty Krauts.

Chagaev isn't contagious... right... don't worry about fighting Tommy Morrison either.. he only has a "smidgen" of AIDS.

That begs the question, how about Chagaev vs Morrison?- winner gets both blood borne diseases...

Thanks for keeping us informed as the story develops manchine. It's much appreciated. I'd love to hand out some green but I'll have to spread around first.

Great, so we still have two WBA heavyweight champions, that's terrific. Now we can find a interim champion to have a complete combo.
