JUST over a decade ago, David Haye made worldwide headlines when he relieved Russia’s Nikolay Valuev of his WBA heavyweight crown. The fight garnered great attention, not for its quality but for the gulf in size between 6ft 3in ex-cruiserweight Haye and the 7ft, 316lb Russian. Even in an era of huge heavyweights, Valuev’s bulk was truly staggering.
