The giant 7 foot, 147 kilogramme frame of WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuyev of Russia will come to the ring against American Jameel McCline in Switzerland on January 20, 2007.

The unbeaten 33-year-old Russian starts as the strong favourite against a man who has lost 6 of his last 47 fights.

If Valuev does win he will be just three victories away from equaling Rocky Marciano's record of 49 undefeated fights.
