    Some Lewis quotes for you !

    “I’ve got a British passport and a Canadian passport, and obviously my British passport comes first.”

    “I have always been English, ever since I emigrated from England and since the kids in Canada beat me up at the age of 12 for having an East London Cockney accent. I thank them for the Cockney taunts because the beatings turned me on to boxing. But on a serious note, Canada has been kind to me.”

    From the mans mouth, now back under your bridge troll

    He was still trying to milk money in England, that's basically the reason why he went, son.

    Who did he represent again in the Olympics?

    "My countryman, Kirk Johnson"

    He lives in Canada, does not live in England.

    Nice try, son. Keep trying.

    ? He lives in Miami and Toronto, you know nothing, son.

    "I only went to the UK because the infrastructure in Canada was non existent"

    He only said that because he was training David Price around that time.

    Oh and where did they have their training camps? IN Canada.

    Try again.

    Miami and Toronto .... so not Jamaica ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sp...ives-guided-tour-luxury-Jamaican-mansion.html

    His main homes are Miami and Jamaica mate stop trolling.

    Who knows nothing ? Every written record and interview that you can find online he says British first, but yeah your opinion is obviously more precise than what the man says himself.

    Seriously you make threads for attention not to add anything meaningful, lots of great fights announced and you create a troll thread and claim your opinion overrides anything the man your talking about has went on the record saying.

    Seriously back under your bridge little boy and try find some other kids to bait.

    Blocking you now had enough of your uninteresting troll threads and will try have some actual boxing conversation with the contributors on this forum who dont just want to wind people up.

    Idiot !

    Being delusional isn't going to help you, he's always in Canada trying to help the scene and this is his second home. Toronto and Miami.

    The fact remains that he only went to the UK because boxing in Canada is non existent. He doesn't live in the UK, he doesn't go there often. His heart is here. The only ties he has is that he was born there and he went there for the money.

    If you believe anything different, you are extremely naive. Son

    Canada is objectively a better country than the US.

    Lennox Claudius Lewis was born in West Ham London England of legal Jamaican immigrants which makes him a BRITISH subject/ That troll MVC knows that. His Mom moved to Canada sending for Lennox when he was 12 years old/ Lennox himself said " As I am heavyweight champion of the world I guess I fight for & represent the whole world"
