Ruslan Chagaev born 19 October 1978 in Andijan, Uzbek SSR, Soviet Union is the current WBA heavyweight champion. As an amateur boxer, he has won the Asian and World Championships in the heavyweight category. Chagaev won the WBA title in 2007 with a majority decision victory over Nikolai Valuev, becoming the first and so far the only Asian in history to hold a major heavyweight title. He was made "champion in recess" after he sustained an injury and relinquished the title after failing to have a rematch with Valuev. In his next fight, Chagaev lost by stoppage to IBF, WBO and IBO Champion Wladimir Klitschko.
