    Before retiring on his legendary victory over the Prime Vitali Klitschko.

    Am I missing something or wasn't Lennox Lewis born in London and has spent most of his life there?

    There's nothing wrong with that either. As a fight fan I would've loved to see a rematch but I can't argue with Lewis wanting to be one of the only HW Champs to retire on top having avenged his only 2 defeats.

    ............and Vitali was not in his prime either, you could say Lennox helped Vitali find his prime. :deal

    Probably when he was born in London and lived in London for the first 12 years of his life. If I had moved with my parents to Sudan at the age of 12 and returned to England in my early 20s I would class myself as a Brit who had lived abroad for my teen years. Presumably OP would think of me as Sudanese.:lol:

    I guess he did teach Vitali a good lesson.

    Excellent observation.

    Was it not the Brits who BOO'ed the then Canadian/Jamaican Lewis?

    I believe that is fictitious. Doesn't mean my beliefs have to be correct! :good
