	*On October 9, Valuev's manager Boris Dimitrov categorically denied that the Holyfield fight might happen: "The fight won't happen under any circumstances. According to contract, the fight can only happen when three parties - Don King, Sauerland Event, and Valuev's manager - give their agreement. The German side [Sauerland] held negotiations without our agreement. I want to emphasize that both Nikolai and I have great respect for Holyfield as a person and an outstanding athlete. But Valuev will not fight a boxer who is 11 years older, 40 kilograms lighter and 20 centimeters shorter. How do you imagine Nikolai knocking out a 46-year-old man?"		*On October 9, Valuev's manager Boris Dimitrov categorically denied that the Holyfield fight might happen: "The fight won't happen under any circumstances.
