The legendary British heavyweight shares his memory of fighting with the Ukrainian.
Lennox Lewis does not want to fight Vitali Klitschko a second time because he plans to retire from sports. This reason was given by the former absolute heavyweight champion himself.
The legendary British heavyweight also considers his victory over the Ukrainian fair, because he got it despite insufficient preparation for the fight.
“Vitaly used his slowness to good effect. Everyone was gossiping that I should meet him again, but he was the cherry on my retirement cake.
I made a decision about this fight in the shortest possible time. Considering my preparation, both physical and psychological, I cannot perform this match perfectly. I beat him at his worst, so the rematch is pointless. There’s no doubt that my uppercuts left their mark on him,” The Ring quoted Lewis as saying.
Let’s remember that the boxers fought in June 2003 and the fight was stopped in the sixth round due to a terrible cut by Klitschko.
Earlier, Lennox Lewis named the strongest opponent of his career.
