If Chagaev tore his Achilles, then he's likely done for good.

Really...seem that the people around Chagaev and Chagaev himself are quite optimistic...

"Even though this is a bad injury, there is a positive note," said Dr. Michael Ehnert. Because the tendon has not torn directly above the heel bone, but almost concentric, a faster healing process is possible."
With this diagnosis, all involved parties are sure that Chagaev can return to the ring by the end of this year.
The champion was stunned and near tears. "It is the worst disappointment of my sporting career," said Chagaev. "But, I'll come back!"
