On May 21, the famous Russian media "Silver Age" published an article about the former heavyweight world boxing champion Varuyev, and posted a photo of Varuyev with the leader of the Donetsk radical faction, Alexander Zakhachenko, which became the focus of heated discussion in Russia in recent days due to the huge height difference between the two sides.
It is understood that the 44-year-old Varouyev has defeated the "Tyson nemesis" Hollyfield, and also won the WBA heavyweight world gold belt, with a height of 2 meters 14 and a weight of 149 kilograms, becoming the tallest and heaviest world heavyweight champion in the history of professional boxing. In 2009, Varouyev announced his retirement with a record of 50 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw and 34 ko opponents, while focusing on taking care of his family, he also turned to the development of Russian politics, and is now a well-known celebrity and important senator in Russia, and often deals with presidents such as Putin and Trump.
It is worth mentioning that although Varuyev's skull is obviously two circles larger than ordinary people and looks quite fierce, he is usually very considerate of his family and friends, and his speech and demeanor are gentle and elegant, which is similar to the image of the boxing ring. Varuev's wife, Galina, is a full-time wife, only 1 meter 6 tall, and The height gap between Varouyev and Varuyev is very large, but the two have gone through nearly 20 years of marriage hand in hand, and the two now have two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son, Gregory Varuev, is 16 years old this year. Although her husband's height and weight are completely different from ordinary people, his wife Galina does not feel that this will affect the feelings between the husband and wife, and frankly admits that she is very happy in this life.
It is reported that in addition to working hard in Russian politics, Varouyev has also done quite successful in film and television, advertising, sports investment, writing books, and establishing boxing schools, especially the "Varuyev Boxing School" he opened in St. Petersburg is welcomed by local primary school students. The reason why Varouyev can harvest so many achievements is inseparable from the silent support of his wife Galina behind the scenes, it is Galina who gave him endless love and assistance, so that Varuyev can devote himself to the political and business arenas, so the couple has always been a well-deserved model couple in the Russian sports world.
