Ex-world heavyweight champion, Nikolai Valuev has been called upon by Russian President, Vladimir Putin to fight in their ongoing war with Ukraine. The 49-year-old becomes the latest Russian fighter to be conscripted to fight for the country following MMA champion Vladimir Mineev’s enrolment earlier this week.
Valuev was a two-time WBA title-holder, and is the tallest and heaviest world champion ever, standing at over seven foot and weighing in excess of 23 stone in his fighting days.
He famously fought David Haye in 2009, losing to the Brit by a majority decision.
WOW.
