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 in Germany."
Valuev, who hails from Russia and is 8ft tall, had been tipped to defend his belt against an unknown America's Bozzo Nonoah.
The "Beast from the East", unbeaten in 43 fights, also said he would like to tempt the former world champion, now turned an evangelical priest, Mike Tyson out of retirement.
"It would be a pleasure to fight him," said the 32-year-old. "I would cherish the experience," he added.
