Breaking: Roy Jones Jr Didn’t Hesitate When Asked If A Prime Mike Tyson Would Beat A Prime Lennox Lewis
In a memorable clash of boxing titans, Lennox Lewis defeated Mike Tyson in 2002, winning by an eighth-round knockout in a fight that captured the attention of sports fans worldwide. Originally slated to take place in Las Vegas, the bout was moved to Memphis, Tennessee, after a brawl during the press conference led to Tyson being denied a fight license.
The highly anticipated matchup began with a competitive first round, but it didn’t take long for Lewis to assert his dominance. As the rounds progressed, Lewis’s effective strategy and powerful punches caused a significant drop in Tyson’s energy levels, rendering ‘Iron’ Mike less effective. The fight culminated in the eighth round when Lewis landed a decisive right hand, sealing Tyson’s fate and claiming victory.
At that time, there was some discussion about a potential fight between Jones and Lewis. Just nine months after the Lewis-Tyson bout, Jones made an impressive leap from light-heavyweight to heavyweight, defeating John Ruiz to become the WBA World Champion. However, rather than pursue an undisputed fight with Lewis, he chose to return to the 175-pound division for his next fight.
In a more recent development, Jones faced Tyson in an exhibition match, which reignited interest in their legacies. After the fight, Jones remarked that Tyson was the hardest puncher he had ever encountered, highlighting the enduring power and skill of ‘Iron’ Mike, even in the later stages of his career. Tyson is set to return to the ring this November to face Jake Paul, further adding to his storied career.
