Lennox Lewis Knocks Out Mike Tyson!

The fight between Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis took place on June 8, 2002, at The Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee. It was a highly anticipated boxing match between two heavyweight champions.
Mike Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion known for his ferocious punching power and aggressive fighting style, was attempting to regain the title he lost years earlier. Lennox Lewis, a British boxer and Olympic gold medalist, held multiple heavyweight titles at the time and was considered one of the best heavyweight fighters of his era.
The fight itself was a major event in the boxing world, drawing significant attention and generating substantial revenue. However, the actual bout was relatively one-sided. Lennox Lewis dominated Tyson throughout the fight, using his superior size, reach, and technical skills to control the action.
In the eighth round, Lewis landed a powerful right hand that staggered Tyson, and shortly after, he delivered a series of punches that sent Tyson to the canvas. Tyson struggled to get up and beat the referee's count, but he was clearly in no condition to continue, leading to the referee stopping the fight and declaring Lennox Lewis the winner by knockout.
The victory solidified Lennox Lewis's status as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of his time, while it marked a significant setback for Mike Tyson's career. The bout remains one of the most memorable and talked-about fights in boxing history.

Yup would'nt have mattered if it's prime Tyson..LEWIS looks like an upgraded version of TONY TUCKER.. TONY stand toe to toe with prime Tyson without even being knocked down even managing to Hurt Mike..pretty sure Lennox could have done a better job than TUCKER.. if that fight even happened..

And only reason Mike turned pro at 18 coz he never made it the Olympics losing to TILLMAN twice.. on the other hand Lennox made it! in 84, and Beating Riddick BOWE for the gold in 88.. only making pro debut at 1989.. prime Tyson was only until 1988..so you're comment alone is idiotic..posting shit without prior knowledge.

Dude the most significant win Tyson pulled off his entire career was against a 38 yr. Old HOLMES.. Lewis had far better opposition compared to prime Tyson, who mostly fought Ding dongs and tomato cans

Lennox was even more considerate, pushing Tyson to squat and lie down as he didn’t want to completely humiliate him. Much respect to Lennox. Tyson wouldn’t have returned the favour if the roles were reversed.

Mike was past his prime. Hauling himself to the piston iron fists of Lennox was an act of desperation and wrong headed. He knew that day would come but who was going to deliver it, he didn’t know. He got served by Holyfield and Lennox.
