The World Boxing Association ruled today at its Directory Meeting that WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev will be considered “champion in recess” due to an injury and that he has until June 26, 2009 to fight for the title.

Negotiations have started between representatives of the WBA’s top two rated heavyweights, ex-WBA champion Nikolai Valuev and former two-time WBA title-holder John “The Quietman” Ruiz, respectively, to fight for the WBA “regular” heavyweight championship belt. More...

Tonight at the famed Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the WBA Light Heavyweight title vacated by Australia's Danny Green will be fought over by Hugo Hernan Garay and Yuri Barashian.

For Garay, 30-3 (17), this could be the breakthrough moment denied to him during narrow split and majority decision losses to WBO titlist Zsolt Erdei in Germany in 2004 and 2005. The 27 year old Buenos Aires man sees what has to be his best chance to win a world title tonight as the venue will be packed with adoring fans.

Standing in the way of Garay will be Ukrainian southpaw, Yuri Barashian, who hasn't lost in almost five years.

Barashian, 25-3 (17), is coming off the biggest win of his career in February when he knocked out Thomas Ulrich in eight rounds to capture the European title but will be facing a more difficult proposition in the form of Garay. More...

Soon after it was announced that WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev had pulled out of his July 5 mandatory title defense against former WBA title-holder and No. 1 contender, Nikolai Valuev, due to another injury, John Ruiz, through his advisor and attorney, Tony Cardinale, contacted World Boxing Association officials demanding that, in accordance with WBA rules and regulations, the championship be vacated and negotiations ordered to begin for a title fight between Valuev and former 2-time world heavyweight champion, WBA No. 2-rated John “The Quietman” Ruiz (43-7-1, 29 KOs).

The luck of Wladimir Sidorenko finally ran out last night at Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf as the WBA Bantamweight Champion was outpointed by Panama's Anselmo Moreno after twelve rounds.

Moreno, 22-1-1 (8), leveraged a sizable height advantage and southpaw stance to keep the normally hyper-busy Sidorenko, 21-1-2 (7), off his game and take a shocking 116-113 and 116-112 (twice) unanimous decision to annex the WBA 118 lb title that Sidorenko has held since early 2005.

The top Women's featherweight in the world had no such problems as Ina Menzer, 21-0 (9), stayed perfect in defense of her WIBF and WBC titles by planting the first career loss on the resume of American import Stacey Reile, 8-1 (3), via fourth round TKO.

English upset specialist Michael Sprott, 30-12 (15), attempted to derail the 11 fight victory train of heavyweight Taras Bidenko, 26-2 (11), but the former British, Commonwealth and European Union Champion fell short after ten rounds, losing a 97-93 (twice), 97-94 decision.

Heavy-handed cruiserweight Alexander Alexeev, 15-0 (14), won the biggest fight of his career thus far by crushing former world title challenger Louis Azille, 19-6-2 (15), of America in the second round.

Tonight at the Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf, Germany, WBA Bantam ruler Wladimir Sidorenko puts his title on the line against Panamanian southpaw Anselmo Moreno on the top of a very big bill.

Sidorenko, 21-0-2 (7), won the WBA belt in early 2005 with a unanimous decision over Mexico's Julio Zarate and to date has retained the title seven times in a row.

This will be the first trip back to Germany for Sidorenko since March of last year as the 31 year old Ukrainian native won his last two contests in France and Japan.

Tonight, Sidorenko will carry his high work rate style into the ring against Anselmo Moreno, a young and hungry challenger from El Martillo, Panama.

The 22 year old southpaw is the reigning WBA Fedecentro titlist and won a WBA title eliminator last August by crushing longtime former NABF beltholder Ricardo "Chapo" Vargas in just one round. More...

WBC champion Cristian Mijares fights WBA title-holder Alexander “El Explosivio” Munoz on this Saturday night, May 17, in the first super flyweight unification title bout in more than 10 years, headlining the “Noche de Campeones” pay-per-view event live from the Auditorio Centenario in Gomez Palacio, Durango, Mexico.

Former two-time WBA heavyweight champion John “The Quietman” Ruiz has announced that he’s prepared to replace WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev to fight another former WBA title-holder, Nikolay Valuev, for the WBA belt.

Chagaev pulled out of his scheduled mandatory defense against Valuev in May, reportedly due to a cold that forced him to break training, but Ruslan hasn’t made his initial mandatory defense since capturing the WBA belt on April 14, 2007 via a 12-round majority decision versus Valuev. More...

Styles make fights and the May 17 unification title bout between WBC champion Cristian Mijares and WBA title holder Alexander “El Explosivio” Munoz has all the makings of an instant classic.

Stuttgart's Hanns Martin Schleyer Halle saw WBA Cruiserweight Champion Firat Arslan retain his title for the first time last night with a complete shut out of challenger Darnell Wilson.

Arslan, 29-3-1 (18), proved last November's title winning effort against the evergreen Virgil Hill was no fluke as he took a few rounds to sort out Wilson, 23-7-3 (20), and then comfortably outboxed the American the rest of the way, 117-111 on all three scorecards.

A powerful puncher, Wilson had made something of a name for himself over the last year by vigorously calling out the cruiserweight world champions in the media but failed to deliver once in the ring with skilled southpaw Arslan, who hasn't lost since January, 2004 over the course of 11 bouts. More...
