Valuev targets Williams & Skelton
WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev expects his first defence to be against either Danny Williams or Matt Skelton.
Williams defends his Commonwealth crown against fellow Englishman Skelton in London on Saturday, 25 February.
"I'll be watching the fight with interest," said Valuev, who outpointed John Ruiz for the title last December. "The winner will be my next opponent."
Valuev, who hails from Russia and is 7ft tall, had been tipped to defend his belt against America's Owen Beck.
The "Beast from the East", unbeaten in 43 fights, also said he would like to tempt Britain's former world champion Lennox Lewis out of retirement.
"It would be great to fight him," said the 32-year-old. "I have a very high opinion of him."
