Earlier in the interview Sports.ru Posner said that he was not satisfied with the presence of Valuev in the number of deputies.

He emphasized that long ago ceased to pay attention to such statements.
In addition, Valuev commented on the comparison with Muhammad Ali.
“I will not Have the very fame which he achieved. In the technique of his, I concede Ali, it must be admitted,” said the former boxer.
He added that, once Posner compares it with someone, he’s not too versed in the sport.
