Legendary British heavyweight Lennox Lewis shared his memories of the fight against the Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko.

Let us remind you that the fight took place in June 2003 and ended with Lewis’s victory by technical knockout in the sixth round - the doctor did not allow Klitschko continue the fight due to a serious cut.

“Vitaly used his clumsiness to good effect. Everyone said I should have fought him again, but he was the icing on my retirement cake.
