Valuev Said His Chair in the Gosduma’s Too Small
One of the newest Goduma deputies, Nikolai Valuev (1973- )… former heavyweight champ, now politician. Hmm… that’s the same path that the great ice hockey goalie Vladislav Tretiak (1952- ) took, too…

On Wednesday, retired Russian heavyweight boxer Nikolai Valuev, who won election as an RF Gosduma deputy from the ruling United Russia party in December, said that he asked for an adjustment to his chair. “It’s an ordinary chair, the same as for all the other deputies, the same width. Only the back is a bit higher”, Valuev told the Russia Today TV channel, adding that it was a special order. “However, today, it was still quite uncomfortable to sit in it. I asked that when they adjust the chair, they make the back lower so that it wouldn’t strain my back. I asked them to do it again, today. Maybe, they’ll readjust it”, he said after the Gosduma held its first plenary session on Wednesday. Valuev is 213 centimetres (7 ft) tall and weighs about 140 kilos (308 pounds).

In the above image, former WBA Heavyweight champ Nikolai Valuev (1973- ) stands with Cruiserweight fighter David Haye (1980- ). Can you believe that Haye was one of the few men to take on Valuev and win? That’s TWO LITRES of pivo in them there glasses… Kolya would say, “I need another one or two to really wet my whistle”… and mean it….
