Ruslan Chagaev and Nikolay Valuev will finally get a chance to settle their score this Saturday in Helsinki, Finland.
In his professional boxing career Valuev has been defeated only once, by Ruslan Chagaev in April 2007, the very man he will face on Saturday. Going into the fight, Valuev had a professional ring record of 47 wins and no losses – which no heavyweight champion has repeated since the Rocky Marciano times. Back in 2007 Valuev lost in a close 12-round fight. However, after the bout, everyone admitted that Chagaev was the better of the two.
The Uzbek’s speed proved to be a real challenge for the Russian Giant, who not only failed to find the range but also failed to find Chagaev with many power shots.
