Valuev-Barrett in Chicago

[Leo Pradun]

Looks like seven-foot WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev is coming to the Windy City. Promoter Don King has selected the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, for Valuev's October 7 defense against Monte Barrett according to the Chicago Tribune. Also fighting on the card are two Polish stars, drawing on the area's large Polish population. WBC light heavyweight champion Thomasz Adamek will face Paul Briggs and lightweight Matt Zegan takes on Nate Campbell. Nearly 10,000 fight fans attended the Fernando Vargas-Javier Castillejo clash at the same venue last year. Tickets go on sale next week.
