Valuev..My favourite boxer, A true heir of Primo Carnera and José Manuel Ibar Azpiazu "Urtain" (Let's not forget that other piece of pugilistic offal: Tony Galento!)
Tony Galento (March 12, 1910—July 22, 1979) was a cigar chomping, beer guzzling American heavyweight boxer. Nicknamed "Two Ton Tony" for his beer-barrel physique, Galento was one of the most colorful fighters in the history of the sport. He wrestled an octopus, and boxed a kangaroo as publicity stunts for his fights. He also attempted to make some money by boxing a 550 lb. bear, as a stage attraction. When asked if he knew who Shakespeare was, Galento replied: "I ain't never hoid of him. I suppose he's one of them foreign heavyweights. They're all lousy. Sure as hell I'll moider de bum."

I heard Galento also tried to wrestle Miguel de Cervantes!
