He fought a very boring fight with Valuev, with a running-and-occasionally-countering style a la Ibragimov, but i thought it was a very close fight.
He is semi-retired. He is focusing on his firefighter career at the moment. He just got a full time job with the city of Laval. A suburb city north of Montreal.
actually he is pretty skilled and being a heavyweight he might get a decent payday against an up and comer andif he manages to pull of the upset then he could get back in the mix for some big paydays. He's also a good caliber sparring partner for any heavyweight in the division.
