Valuev remains WBA champion

Published: 20 January, 2007, 21:45


Nikolay Valuev is still the WBA heavyweight champion of the world. The Russian Giant beat American Jameel McCline by a technical knock out at the end of 3rd round. The American boxer slipped, hurt his knee and was unable to continue.

That was disappointing for fight fans, but another win for Valuev who has closed in on the legendary Rocky Marciano's record of forty nine fights without defeat.

Marciano, an American boxer, remains the only heavyweight champion in history to retire unbeaten. Meanwhile, Nikolay Valuev has gained his forty sixth victory.
