Chagaev-Valuev fight to be held in Hannover, Germany

FRANKFURT, Germany - The heavyweight title fight between WBA champion Ruslan Chagaev of Uzbekistan and Nikolai Valuev of Russia will be held in Hannover on July 5.
The fight was scheduled for May 31 in Oberhausen, but postponed because Chagaev has a viral infection. The unbeaten Chagaev (24 wins, 1 draw) won a majority decision against Valuev in April 2007. Valuev (48-1) won a lopsided decision against former WBO champion Sergei Liakhovich in February.
Universum promotions said Thursday that WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm will fight Randy Griffin on the same card.
