Comments
- Bout announced on January 27.[1]
- "In just five days a mega-fight between Ruslan Chagaev of Uzbekistan and Vladimir Virchis of Ukraine; will square off in what quite possibly be the best heavyweight fight this year. I am almost insulted to see so little press in regards to this fight. [...] The winner will be set up quite nicely for a title shot in the near future, and definite fame everywhere but the English speaking world. [...] I for one would rather see this explosive affair, than a possibly boring twelve round fat man dance between Hasim Rahman and James Toney" - boxing247.com columnist Troy Ondrizek
- "Chagaev has a big future in my eyes. In Uzbekistan he has already reached Muhammad Ali's level of popularity. From the moment he won the Amateur World Boxing Championships, he has eventually become recognized by everyone in this country" - Artur Grigorian, before the fight
- The fight generated 1.59 million viewers on ZDF with 16.9 market share (the channel's audience share in March 2006 was 13.6).
