(CNN) -- David overcame Goliath as Britain's David Haye claimed the WBA world heavyweight title with a majority 12-round points victory over giant Russian Nikolia Valuev in Nuremberg on Saturday night.
Valuev had a massive advantage in height and weight, towering over former cruiserweight champion Haye, but the challenger fought a clever tactical fight to win the verdict of the three judges.
One scored it a 114-114 draw with the two others giving it 116-112 in Haye's favor.
