Vitali Klitschko: We are friends with Lennox Lewis

Former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko talked about his relationship with Lennox Lewis, and also recalled their fight, which took place in 2003 and ended by a TKO victory for Lewis, after the referee decided to stop the fight because of the Klitschko’s cut.

"We are friends with Lennox, we communicate. And I'm glad that he will visit Kiev. The WBC Congress is a big annual event in the boxing world. Great boxing stars, promoters, managers will come to our city, those who created the history of boxing.

“Lewis fight was the most difficult in my career. Experts called it a battle of the decade. Many years have passed, but discussions are still going on as to who won. I believe that I did not lose. And today I can say: thanks to Lewis for the chance, for the opportunity to fight one of the strongest boxers in the world."
