Heavyweight champ Haye back home
Updated on 09 November 2009
Boxing giant-killer David Haye has returned to Britain after defeating the "Beast from the East", and admitted: "I can't wear my belt - it's too big."
The 29-year-old Londoner saw off the colossal Nikolai Valuev - despite an 11-inch height gap and seven stone weight difference - to become Britain's first world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis' retirement from the ring in 2003.
Arriving back from Germany at Stansted Airport, near Chelmsford, Essex, to a rapturous reception from more than 100 fans on Sunday night, he said it the reality of becoming world champion had "only just hit me".
