Russian Giant on route to regain fame
Published: 12 December, 2007, 02:22
The Russian Giant, Nikolay Valuev, and the Belarusian White Wolf, Sergey Lyakhovich, are set to go toe to toe. The two boxers will face each off on February 16, in Germany.
Although, there'll be no World Title on the line, the winner could get a crack at WBA champion, Ruslan Chagaev. That's if he successfully defends his crown against Matt Skelton in January.
Valuev will enter the bout as the favourite, having held the WBA belt for 16 months before losing to Chagaev last April.
