Haye says victory is 'amazing feeling'

Britain has its first heavyweight champion of the world since 2002 after David Haye beat massive Russian fighter Nikolai Valuev in Germany on Saturday night. The 29-year-old fractured his right hand hitting Valuev in the head but managed to win on points over 12 rounds. David Haye says he had to hold back from his usual aggressive style of fighting but says it was worth it to win the WBA version of the world heavyweight title.
