Nikolai Valuev is a tall man. A former world boxing heavyweight champion, he retired in late 2009, presumably to become a butcher or deli-owner. Perhaps even owner of a sweaty and destitute gym. Anything, as long as he gets to punch things that won’t punch back.
Well, that must not have been all that exciting, because he’s now starting up an expedition to search for the yeti in Siberia. The trip will only take place over the space of two days, presumably because Siberia is super-duper-cold all of the time and most anyone that goes into the land will die.
A spokesman for the Kemerovo regional administration said that the boxer was keen to “talk to the yeti about life”.
We can only assume that Valuev will speak to the beast using his fists, which, as science tells us, is the most efficient form of communication.
