His love for boxing, apparent at the age of 12, made Lennox “The Lion” Lewis focused his effort on boxing after finishing high school. His effort was paid off when he won his first gold medal at the World Junior Championship in 1983. Lewis got his second gold medal, as a member of Team Canada, in 1998 Seoul Summer Olympics.

After obtaining the Olympics’ gold Lewis turned professional and went on to win the European title in 1990, British heavyweight title in 1991, and the Commonwealth title in 1992, making him the then consensus top-five heavyweight in the world.

When Riddick Bowe, whom Lewis knocked down in the second round of the 1998 Olympics final match, refused to fight Lewis in defending his WBC title, WBC declared his title vacant. The WBC then crowned Lewis, being in a position as the No. 1 contender in the WBC world ranking, as its champion in January 14 1993, making him the first British boxer titleholder in the 20th century.
