    Moved to Canada aged 9, learned to fight in Canada and represented them in the Olympics. He only started to embrace his British birth place when he became a pro to increase his fanbase. Lewis even admitted it himself this year “When I turned pro, I had to go to the United Kingdom in order to pursue my career. The infrastructure to develop boxers wasn’t in Canada then."

    he was basically 'a Canadian at heart and a Briton for convenience."
