Vitali vs. Valuev agreed to in principle
In the attached link, Vitali Klitschko states that he and Nicolai Valuev have had conversations and have agreed to fight each other. Sky Sports is reporting the same. Obviously, contracts still need to be negotiated and the like, so there's still a lot that could sink this ship, but this would be the last step in getting rid of the non-Klitschkos from the heavyweight title picture.

Thank God
we should now be able to forget about Valuev forever after he is dismantled within 3 rounds.

and
it probably means that Arreola is going to have to wait some more to get a crack at a Klitschko. How about Haye-Arreola?

I'd watch it
But I doubt it happens. Both fighters are dangerous to each other, and each stands to make significantly more by waiting in line for a Klitschko.

so who do they fight to stay busy t?
assuming Wlad fights Povetkin, and Vitali fights Valuev, where do they go for the rest of the year?

Whoever
They’ll find scrubs. Haye might have more trouble, only because he was a Setanta fighter, so now he might need to face someone that HBO approves to get paid. HBO seems to be willing to pay to see Arreola fight any Tom, Dick and Harry, so I suspect that will stay the same. Probably someone washed up like Hasim Rahman or Lamon Brewster.
