Glad it's Chagaev rather than Valuev

Hope Chagaev doesn't fall ill again :\

Well, looks like Wlad'll get the Ring belt. If Chagaev don't back out at the last minute himself, Wlad'll KO him.

Chagaev has enough time to prepare, he should already be in fighting form

HBO has accepted Ruslan Chagaev as Wlad's opponent for June 20, but they have turned down the July 11 date. So if it is rescheduled, there will be no HBO.

RTL as well would show Wlad-Chagaev on the 20th, and prefer this over a July 11 telecast.

Apparently Setanta is still set to go for July 20, but are unable to approve a July 11 telecast.

Will setanta even be around by July 20? oh well i just hope Vitali can step into a Haye fight if not Haye will have to fight a contendered maybe someone like Arreola. And hope refunds are fully avaliable to UK fans if this is true.

Several sources. From several articles including the one from Troy here at boxingscene (HBO approves Chagaev), and from Wlad's assistant trainer.

I haven't found much info or these articles, I think I'll reserve judgment until K2 Promotions make a statement themselves.

Rumours are what they are.
