Nikolai Valuev – 7ft.
It pays to be a large individual in the sport of boxing. Nikolai is naturally tall and heavy and when he arrived on the boxing scene, nothing was the same again. This Russian athlete is the most massive boxer in most people’s memory. He has won 50 of his 53 matches and did it all without supplements or special training tricks. Since he bowed out of boxing on a high note, he has remained very successful, dabbling in politics and opening his boxing gymnasium.

Brittney Griner – 6’9”
You don’t want to be crushed in a bear hug by this lady! Brittany worked out a lot to hone those arm muscles. Now an incredible basketball player in the NCAA, she has become the first to clock-up over 2 000 points and her defense is nothing to sneeze at either. She has managed to block over 500 attempts by the opposition to score. Brittany also formed part of the Olympic team and not surprisingly, Nike hired her as a brand ambassador in 2013.
