HBO approves Chagaev, but not July 11th date

[The Hammer]

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.

They are not rumours, but facts. You don't search around as thoroughly as I do. Check the Ukrainian section of the Klitschko website for his assistant trainer's comments.

Official statements will be made soon.

Facts to you maybe my friend but I will await official statements only.
The internet is rife with peoples facts.

What fight do you prefer for Wlad ?

It sounds as though the cards are falling in place for a June 20th Klitschko-Chagaev fight and the Haye fight is becoming less and less likely. And you know something? I'm happy for that- David Haye never earned his shot and conducted himself unprofessionally the whole time during the lead up to the fight...

This is disappointing. Do you think that if Wlad had this injury and needed to delay things until July 11 HBO would say no?

Wlad-Haye is much more appealing and entertaining and exciting than Wlad-Chagaev. HBO would be wise to reconsider, Ring title or no.

This is dissapointing, finally a good Heavyweight fight, then it gets cancelled for this borefest!

They went for the better alternative. Haye will get his respect back when he fights a top 10 heavyweight. Here's a thought, how about Haye fights one of the other 9 proposed opponents for Wlad on July 11th. These were all guys we wouldve seen Wlad in with so I guess the general public would see them as legit.

That would make sense.

But apparently Setanta will not be able to televise it.

If Wlad goes on to fight Chags, Haye should look at Arreola for August or something. Either that or the winner of Tua-Cameron. Maybe even Kevin Johnson if he's still feeling the need to tread some new waters.

I prefer Chagaev, for the Ring belt, and so he will have enough time to fight Povetkin by Sep 13/09 and keep his IBF belt.

People who have been here awhile have learned that I don't post bull****. I often dig information up before there's official announcements - I haven't been wrong yet.

What's happened to Chags' champ in recess status? Have they finally taken that 'accolade' away from him? I kept thinking that was what Wlad would've been fighting for - the WBA belt. But then... Valuev still holds half of that.
