Lennox Lewis: My Toughest Opponent

Sports news » Lennox Lewis: My Toughest Opponent

Boxing legend Lennox Lewis has identified the most formidable adversary he encountered throughout his illustrious career.

“Many are taken aback when I name Evander Holyfield as my toughest opponent. It`s important to distinguish this from my hardest fight, which I`ve previously attributed to Ray Mercer.”

“Considering Evander`s vast background in both amateur and professional boxing, his success is undeniable. I can playfully tease him – he knows I emerged victorious in both our encounters, though he might not acknowledge it. But in all seriousness, he stands alone as the only boxer to have shared the ring with me for a total of 24 rounds,” Lewis remarked.
