Both heavyweights have no weighed in for battle for their championship fight at the Ahmat Arena in Grozny, Russia. Fres Oquendo (37-7, 24KOs) will challenge former two-time champion Ruslan Chagaev (32-2-1, 20KOs) on July 6th for the vacant World Boxing Association 'regular' heavyweight crown.

The title became vacant after Wladimir Klitschko, the WBA's super champion, defeated 'regular' champion Alexander Povetkin last year when they met in a sanctioning body unification.

Neither will be a champion. Lets not forget that this is for the "regular" (aka imaginary") title.
Hopefully Chagaev wins by KO

I honestly cannot believe this is for a title.
John Ruiz knocked out Fres in his prime, that's all you need to know.

Got to give props to the 41 year old Oquendo for coming in at 222 pounds with no excuses. Chagaev on the other hand 244 for a world title fight? Some places claim he could be as low as 5'10 what the hell is he doing weighing 22lb's more i don't get it.
