Cyprop - the north Cyprus property specialists

David Haye became the new WBA Heavyweight Champion of the World on Saturday night when he out pointed, out boxed and out classed the ‘Beast from the East’ Nikolai Valuev.  Haye weighed in a record 7 stone less than Valuev and also gave away over a foot in height but still managed to control the fight and even had the giant Valuev doing a silly dance with his legs buckling underneath him in the last round.  The achievement becomes all the more impressive when you realize that Haye fought with a broken right hand from the second round onwards!

David Haye lives and trains at his base in Kyrenia, North Cyprus with his wife Natasha and their 19 month old son Cassius.  In an interview with the BBC straight after his victory in Nuremburg, Haye said that one of the main reasons for his success is that living and training in North Cyprus keeps him so relaxed and positive.  He absolutely loves the place.  In fact, when it was decided by his trainer that for this particular fight it would be better for him to train in the UK, he replicated his North Cyprus gym identically in London to make him feel more at home!

Congratulations David, bring on the Klitschko brothers!!
