Klitschko-Chagaev May Have WBA Title at Stake

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Klaus-Peter Kohl, manager of undefeated Ruslan Chagaev, the WBA heavyweight title may be at stake when his fighter challenges WBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday in Germany. Chagaev is the WBA's "champion in recess" and Nikolai Valuev is listed as the official champion by the sanctioning body. Universum, who promote Chagaev, sent a request to the WBA to sanction the fight. [details]

That would be great!

Then Valuev would have to fight Wladimir.

You can't even give them away nowadays hahahahaha.

If they ring me later, I'm gonna tell them I dont want it.

This would be a great idea. If Wlad wins he'd probably have to face Valuev after Povetkin. I dont think theres any doubt Wlad would destroy Valuev and rid boxing of the disgraceful Valuev

I thought the WBA had already said that Chagaev was the WBA champion and the whole point of this fight was to unify three of the main belts?

Does make for some really "exciting" heavyweight fights though hey...

[robyonone]

It should be for The Ring, WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO Heavyweight Titles. This match is way to big for it not to be.

A Wladamir win is big for the division

Hopefully Chagaev pulls the upset and we get Chagaev Valuev 2!!! But seriously, If Klitschko wins, which i think i think he disposes Chagaev early, I agree that he should then fight Povetkin and Valuev. Everybody ****s on the heavyweight division, and it definetly isn't great, but there are plenty of fights to be made among the "top" names, even if they are predominantly European. Youv'e got Chambers vs Dimitrenko coming down the line in an eliminator, Chris Arreola, David Haye, Vitali, all in need of fights. James Toney vs Sergei Liakovich allegedly this summer. There are always fights there, they just need to be made. With Wladamir to soon have three, maybe four titles, this is great for the division because you have to imagine that all these names will have to start fighting eachother, because if Wladamir has all the titles, he can only defend them against one fighter at a time.
