Former undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield told BBC Radio Five Live that he is hoping to land a fight against newly crowned WBA champion Nicolay Valuev.
Holyfield, on medical suspension in the United States, 43-years-old and winless for the last couple of years, feels that he can beat the undefeated seven-foot giant.
"I'm hoping that I get the opportunity to fight him. It would be a good show. The art of the game of boxing is not so much the size but what you can do with what God's given you. You can be big but if you can't fight, you don't have the punch or don't have the skills that are necessary then you're just another fighter." said Holyfield
"It's obvious that he'll get tired if you move a lot. I should have faster hands so I should be able to dot in and dot out and hit him with a lot of punches. He could throw one hard shot and that could be it - but you've got to not let him hit you and you've got to hit him."
