I just read this translated from the German press. Valuev plans his first defence to be against Andrew Golota for February in Germany.
Valuev fought pretty well against Ruiz, the fight was close, but I thought that Valuev may have won the fight with his jab by a close margin. I dont know what Valuev's management are thinking but Golota would be a difficult opponent for Valuev if he comes to fight. He has decent power and ring smarts and when he gets his mind in the right state he can be a very tough determined opponent.
