By Jake Donovan - There will be no interim title fight in the interim.
Such claim was made by more than one party upon reading a recent press release distributed by the offices of Don King Productions. The claim being made out of Deerfield Beach, FL is that a heavyweight fight has been ordered between former Kali Meehan and Ruslan Chagaev.
The winner, claims the press release, will be recognized as an interim heavyweight champion, and next in line to face the forthcoming title fight between recently crowned David Haye and former titlist John Ruiz.
It’s possible that such a scenario one day plays out – just not in that order.
“It’s possible that the WBA would order an elimination fight, but not to take effect until after the Haye-Ruiz contest,” stated Anthony Cardinale, who serves as Ruiz’ advisor and attorney. [details]
