It's been eighteen years since Lenox Lewis announced his retirement and he's one of the greatest boxers in the sport. Although many of his matches have been criticised as "boring," his retirement and absence quickly proved that boxing misses him, as fans around the world are saying something like "Heavyweight needs Lewis!" "Something like that!
Lewis' final record was 41-2-1 and 32 KO, his height was 6'5, and before he appeared, it was known that heavyweight boxers were a little smaller in stature and physique. His opponent was the tall Ridick Bow.
When Lewis won the Unified Class championship at the end of 1999, he became the first British boxer to achieve such an achievement in more than a hundred years. Although he lost to Oliver McCall and Hasmu Raman, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that he won the big fights with Evand Hollyfield (in the rematch), Ray Mercer and Vitali Klitschko.
Lewis is a master of technology who likes to defeat opponents tactically. In 1984 and 1988, Lewis represented Canada twice at the Olympic Games, the first losing to the American Biggs, who later won the gold medal, in the quarter-finals, and the latter knocking out the American Riddick Bow, who later became the world's heavyweight boxing champion, in the final, and winning Canada's only boxing gold medal at the Seoul Olympics. In the end, Lewis achieved a record of 75 wins and 7 losses, knocking down opponents in 58 matches.
From June 1989 to February 2004, Lewis announced his retirement, with a record of 41 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. At the peak of his career, Lennox Lewis won the title of World Boxing Champion in three major organizations besides WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC. At that time, WBO was still a small organization with no name, and IBO and WBA, IBF, and WBC were called the four major boxing organizations.
