Chris Meyer, general manager of team Sauerland, promoters of Nikolai Valuev, has allayed fears that David Haye's world title tilt at the WBA heavyweight champion, scheduled for Nov 7, could be called off due to a legal argument.
Meyer said on Wednesday: "There is certainly no problem with the Valuev Haye bout. Everything has been sorted out. We have struck a deal with Team Ruiz for him to step aside.
"Our attorneys are just putting it in writing. Once this deal has been signed, we will submit the necessary papers to the WBA by the end of this week."

"German TV ARD and UK´s Sky Box Office have booked the Nov 7 date in their schedules. We are just discussing the dates for the press conference.
"Valuev is scheduled to start his final preparations at the beginning of September."
According to Boris Dimitrov, the 7ft Russian fighter's manager, a claim by American John Ruiz that he is the authoritative challenger to the World Boxing Association title held by Valuev could have scuppered the Haye Valuev bout.
Dimitrov had affirmed early this week that the Haye Valuev competition could be facing a challenge by Ruiz's legal team, with his camp also disputing the outcome of their competition in Berlin in August last year, which Valuev won on a split points decision.
