New World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev of Russia celebrates defeating John Ruiz of the U.S. after their title bout in Berlin December 17, 2005. Valuev won the WBA heavyweight title with a controversial majority decision over Ruiz on Saturday. The sell-out 10,000 crowd booed loudly when the decision was announced even though Valuev, known as the "Beast of the East" for his towering size and weight advantage, is based in Germany.
