Former WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev has added Alexander Zimin to his coaching staff. "I want to win my title back and therefore I had to change something," Valuev said. "Alexander will help us a lot. He is a great addition, especially as far as tactics are concerned." Long-time coach Manuel Gabrielian will keep his position and remain in charge of the daily training. "We have a very close relationship and I still have a lot of confidence in Manuel," the Russian Giant stated. "To have an experienced coach such as Alexander in our corner will help the both of us."
