Acromegalia is slowly killing Nikolai Valuev

Post by dagilechia »

some tumor in his brain is producing too much of HGH and it kills him.

it slowly kills him, it will most likely kill him because the surgery of removing the tumor is very risky

No doubt, but I thought the dude died. Googled it and nothing showed about it, except his ongoing battle with this.

it's just a language mistake, i thought that only ''acromegalia killed Valuev'' suggests that he's already dead, i have changed the title

Maurice Tillet had acromegalia too and he died at 51, it was 75 years ago though.

Acromegalia pretty much kills everyone at an early age.

Andre the Giant might be the most famous victim.

We all knew he was sick and unable to continue his boxing career when he fought Haye and the boxing bosses knew that too and that's why they gave Haye the decision win even tho all he did was run away all night and land one potshot.

Valuev had a very popular childrens show on tv in Russia, but I don't know how long that lasted or if it's still on. It was so cute, a giant with little children! Is he still in politics then?

You could always clearly see that he had the gigantism disease, yes like Andre the Giant. Andre passed away at age 46 but he had aged badly and couldn't walk. Valuev is now 45 and appears to be in good shape.

never got the hate for Valuev. Yes, he was limited but he was better than a "novelty act" as if often claimed. His resume is no worse than Wilders and he arguably beat Haye in a dreadful fight. NV seems like a decent guy and he always fought within the rules and was respectful of his opponents
