The disarray caused by David Haye dropping out for his June 20 challenge of world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has been put to rest with the announcement that WBA “champion in recess” Ruslan Chagaev will step into the breach for the bout, scheduled for Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
Chagaev himself was scratched from a proposed rematch with Nicolai Valuev this past weekend when he allegedly failed a mandatory pre-fight Finnish medical board examination.
No official explanation as to why Chagaev allegedly failed the examination has been released and therefore it’s unknown whether or not the 30 year old Uzbek southpaw will have similar problems leading up to the Klitschko bout.
On the line June 20 will be the IBF,WBO, IBO and WBA titles.
