Thread: Wlad Chagaev off?

As it has been reported that Mr. Ruslan Chagaev has tested positive for the Hepatitis B Virus, the American Association of Professional Ringside Physicians (the “AAPRP”) is recommending that the proposed contest between Mr. Ruslan Chagaev and Mr. Vladimir Klitschko be postponed due to medical safety issues. The AAPRP also recommends that this fight not take place and suggests that Mr. Chagaev not be permitted to fight (anyone) until, and unless, he can demonstrate a "negative hepatitis status". In several recent media accounts, it has been stated that Mr. Chagaev has a “low hepatitis B viral load” and therefore poses “no risk” of transmitting this dangerous virus. The AAPRP disagrees with this assertion. Although the risk of transmission of the Hepatitis B Virus may be minimal, the risk is not zero. Additionally, given the fact that Hepatitis B is a very virulent virus and easily transmitted, it is even more important to be prudent in order to not only protect Mr. Chagaev’s opponent, but also the referee, judges, sanctioning body officials, cornermen, ringside physicians and ringside observers who may be at risk of contracting this dangerous virus. As boxing is obviously considered a “blood sport”, it is very common for blood to splatter on the individuals immediately adjacent at ringside. The conjunctiva (eye) route of transfer for this virus is well documented....so any person seated at ringside, who is not immunized, may be at risk..

The fight is in Germany, the AAPRP is just SUGGESTING a postponement of the fight as they have no authority in Germany.

this would be too funny

It's even funnier because the threads started about a cancellation will have more drama than the fight would.

No problem with Vlad since he's immunized already...

I suggest the ref, cornermen, fight officials to wear mask and googles... Ringside audience will have their seats starting from 20 feet from the ring...

OK let's get ready to rumble... for the heavyweight championship of the world !!

Bwa ja ja ja ...

I hope it won't, there is enough fights postponed/canceled for my tastes this summer and the HW division has to keep going if we hope a bit in order into that messy drawer.

They're gonna cancel the fight. Same thing happened with Michael Domingo.

I copied this thread from elsewhere.

For what its worth i now officially throw my hat into the ring to fight Wladimir Klitschko/Amir Khan/Nikolay Valuev and juan manuel marquez.

Instead of slugging it out in a gym i`ll spend the next 2/3 weeks in a deprovation tank feeding off GM crops and regular dosages of paracetemol

If this fight gets the chop too i'm gonna forget the heavyweight division even exists..... Surely if he had hepB then thats why the Valuev fight was off and surely they should have known that this would be the same. What utter crap comin from the HW div again.

If this fight gets called of it will make a mockery of the division again!

He is either passed fit to fight or he shouldnt be fighting at all !
