HELSINKI (Reuters) - The WBA heavyweight title fight between Nikolai Valuev of Russia and Ruslan Chagaev of Uzbekistan scheduled for Saturday has been canceled, a spokesman for the promoters said on Friday.
"The title match between Valuev and Chagaev had been canceled because the contract was not fulfilled," the spokesman said.
A source close to the organisers told Reuters Chagaev had tested positive for hepatitis B. The test results had been released after the weigh-in.
