Valuev, 36, takes on Haye at the Nuremberg Arena with former cruiserweight Haye eager to claim his first world title and the Londoner has accused the 2.13m tall Russian of being a "circus freak" in the pre-fight build-up.

"I don't care how many more fights it will take, but my goal is to be the number one fighter pound-for-pound in the world," the Ghana southpaw Agbeko said. "There are ... Read Full Story
