I wonder how he fits in a plane, probably uncomfortable as fuck even first class seats are too small
:rofl:
They took out the upper floor on this plane to make room for Valuev. Tye Fields is said to be flown in as sparring partner.

I honestly want him to KO Ruiz. I mean retire him. I don't want to hear his name ever in boxing discussion.
I was suprised to here about Ruiz again, I thought he had finally vanished.
