A nice article about Valuev is here:

Sorry, it is in Russian, but maybe someone could translate it to English using a web translator.

Not sure if you'd be able to find a translator because it's in Cyrillic. Most web translators have enough trouble with just accents.

What's the gist of the article? What's next for the big Russian bear?

The punchline is that he is a very decent, friendly person.

There are some details about his family life. :)

He KO Dick Ryan in 1 round while VK took 5 rounds to KO Ryan.

He was very upset about the DQ stoppage of his opponent Noublez in the last fight.

He has hard time finding sparring partners that fight American style. The only fighters who are not afraid of sparring with him are mostly Russian and Ukrainian, but they all fight European style.

There are actually some very interesting issues that i read about.


of the words of his trainer were great:
The most pissed off was Valuev's trainer Manvel Gabrielyan
"Everything is clear already. These are Don King's little tricks. He didn't send his son for nothing. Nobles couldn't beat Nikolai so he hit him below the belt. Now as you can see he is a VICTIM"
BUT i am also not happy with my student. He should have disposed of Nobles in round 1, then he wouldn't have a chance to dirty it up. Nobles just got lucky the fight was stopped."

Interesting stuff...thanks for translating, guys :cool: .
