    Nicolay "Beast from the East" Valuev.

    Niko is actually a pretty cool and... poetic guy, he hates the nickname.

    He changed this name to simply 'warrior' after the McClellan fight.

    He loved it while he was fighting. Remember after the McClellan fight he kept referring to himself by that name. I think after he retired and he changed his lifestyle he left it behind though. One of the best nicknames though, the Dark Destroyer sounds sick.
