Valuev however said his wife was crying and that he only grabbed the guard by the collar, adding "If I were to had actually hit him, as some people are saying, the consequences for this person would have been more serious. I think I acted as any normal man in my place would have done." No criminal investigation was ever launched by local police. Sergeyev was admitted to City Hospital No 3 where he was diagnosed as suffering from "closed craniocerebral injury, thorax and cerebral contusion". He threatened to launch a private civil suit against Valuev.


Record

Despite his imposing size and unblemished record, many boxing experts and writers doubt Valuev's ability as a boxer, and some have labeled him a 'freak show.' His current record stands at 44-0-0-1 with 32 KOs. Against Ruiz, two judges favoured Valuev by scores of 116-114 and 116-113, while the third saw the fight as a 114-114 draw—enough to give Valuev the title . Valuev is only 33 (2 years younger than Vitali Klitschko). Valuev is rated sixth by fightnews.com (higher than Hasim Rahman, the former WBC champion). Valuev is also ranked second on the IBO ranking list IBO boxing rankings—higher than Lamon Brewster (U.S.), Hasim Rahman (U.S.), Kirk Johnson, (CAN) and James Toney (U.S.).
