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.

I accepted this fight in no time. If you look at my mental readiness and physical preparation, I could not carry out that fight perfectly. I beat him at my worst, so there was no point in a rematch. He definitely experienced my uppercuts,” Lewis said in an interview with The Ring.
