Guard Accuses Giant Hairy Boxing Champ of Assault

MOSCOW — Giant boxer and recently crowned World Boxing Association champion Nikolai Valuyev recently said he had no idols in boxing, only the greatest respect for some of his favorites, including controversial former heavyweight champ and ear muncher, Mike Tyson.
Valuyev presumably admires Tyson’s exploits in and out of the ring, after an incident Thursday reminiscent of Tyson’s notorious outside-the-ring altercations, the Russian boxer — who at 7'3" tall and 167 kilograms has been dubbed the “Beast from the East” — could be facing criminal charges.
St. Petersburg police said Friday that they were investigating claims from a handicapped 61-year-old security guard, Yury Sergeyev, that Valuyev beat him up outside the Spartak Ice Palace in St. Petersburg after the boxer’s wife parked illegally and Sergeyev, who was working as a parking attendant, asked her to move her car.
“According to the victim, Valuyev grabbed him by the throat and began beating him over the head and continued to beat him even after the attendant fell to the ground unconscious,” the police said in a statement, Interfax reported.
Sergeyev was hospitalized in critical condition, the statement said. Officials at City Hospital No. 3 in St. Petersburg could not be reached for comment Friday, but one of the hospital’s doctors, Alexander Komarov, told NTV television on Thursday that Sergeyev had suffered a concussion as well as brain swelling and several broken bones and severe bruises on his face.
Police have questioned and interrogated Sergeyev but have yet to question Valuyev, who flew to Germany after the incident, the police statement said. In reported interviews, Valuyev has denied hitting the guard in spite of many eye witness who stated that the "beast" had beaten the poor old codger mercilessly.
In an interview broadcast on NTV, Sergeyev said he had done nothing to provoke an attack and simply informed Valuyev’s wife, Galina, that the spot where she had parked was reserved for buses.
“She told me that it was her business and not to interfere,” he said in the interview. She called her husband, who arrived 10 minutes later, Sergeyev said.
“She pointed her finger and said ‘That’s him!,sick em’ and stepped off to the side,” Sergeyev said, Sovietsky Sport reported Saturday. “And Valuyev took me by the back of my neck and dragged me into a ventilation shed. He beat me for a long time, and several times I lost and regained consciousness.”
In an interview posted Friday on Gazeta.ru, Valuyev, wearing a blood soaked shirt, said that shortly before he was to fly to Berlin, his wife called him in tears and said that as she parked her car at the Spartak Ice Palace to take their son to the ice rink, the parking attendant had mocked her saying her breath smelled like "Bigfoots dick"and yelled at her and demanded to see her breasts. He then hurried over to Spartak.
“I sincerely regret the conflict, but you have to understand: I acted like any normal caveman in my position would have, whether he was the world champion or a simple minded neaderthal,” he said. “I stood up for my wife, Galina, and my 3-year-old son, Grisha who is now 6'9" and weighs 210lbs.”
Valuyev added that parking attendants had hassled his wife on previous occasions. “making lewd "buckin" motions with their hips” he said.
In the Gazeta.ru interview, Valuyev did not elaborate on how he resolved the situation. Interviewed by Berliner Zeitung, he denied hitting Sergeyev.
“He insulted my wife, and then I grabbed him by the throat to try and squeeze the life out of him,he's so old he'll die soon anyway!,” Valuyev was quoted as saying in the German newspaper. “I did not have sex with this man.”
