On July 6th, Ruslan Chagaev won the WBA world heavyweight championship for the second time by outscoring Fres Oquendo in Grozny (Chechnya). After a long summer vacation with his family, Chagaev returned to the gym this week to prepare for his first title defense.
"I feel great after taking so weeks off and I am looking forward to getting back into the ring", says Chagaev. Date, place and opponent for his first title defense haven't been set.
