Briton David Haye is the new WBA world heavyweight boxing champion. Haye has beaten Russia's Nikolai Valuev by way of a points decision in Nuremberg, Germany.

One of the judges scored it a draw, while the other two scored the fight 116 points to 112 in Haye's favour.

Valuev is the tallest and heaviest world champion of all time, but struggled against his shorter and speedier opponent throughout the bout.
