The match was called off on Friday, leaving fans and bettors wondering what could have been.

Finnish officials said Chagaev was unable to fulfill the Finnish Boxing Federation's medical requirements and gave no further details.

Local media reports said Chagaev had a hepatitis infection and that all 11 bouts on the card were cancelled.
Saturday's bout at 15,000-sear Hartwall Arena would have been only the second world title fight in the Finnish capital. Davey Moore of the U.S. knocked out Olli Maki of Finland in 1962 to retain his world featherweight title.

It's the third rematch between the pair that's failed to start since Chagaev gave Valuev his only pro defeat by decision in April 2007.

Chagaev's status remained unclear on Friday. Get your boxing odds with Bodog now.
