JohnRich 4 #1 January 27, 2006 LA Times sports news: Nikolay Valuev: crowned in December as Russia's first World Boxing Assn. heavyweight champion. Valuev strode into the gym recently during his triumphant return to Russia after the title bout, in which he defeated American John Ruiz on a controversial decision in Berlin to become the tallest (7 feet) and heaviest (323 pounds) world champion in history. He's so big he usually steps into the ring over the top rope… so big that the adolescent pugilists at the club (where he trains) would have barely been able to land a hook as high as his belly, if they had the nerve to try... In the rest of the world, Valuev, 32, is known as the "Beast from the East" (promoter Don King wants to call him "King Kong")...Full story: Here Image of "The Beast": Here (You really want to see this photo!)
