** NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED **

July 12th, 1991. Undefeated 25 year old BBBofC British Heavyweight & EBU European Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis aka “The Lion” took on 40 year old former WBA Heavyweight Champion Mike “Hercules” Weaver in the undercard of the Tony Lopez vs Lupe Guetierrez main event for the IBF World Super Featherweight Championship.

Prefight records; Lewis 15(14)-0, Weaver 35(25)-15-1.

Going into the fight, Lewis who had 6" reach and 4" height advantages in addition to being 15 years younger had a notable TKO7 triumph over Gary Mason 4 months earlier where he won the BBBofC British Heavyweight Title.

On the other hand, Weaver who entered the bout as an 18 year veteran had defeated top oppositions such as Johnny DuPlooy, Gerrie Coatzee, Scott LeDoux, Duane Bobick, Carl Williams, James Tillis, John Tate & Stan Ward (2x).

Overall, it was a good tactical fight between an experienced but fading fighter against a talented hungry young contender. However, Lewis’ youth was the trump card as he outworked Weaver with his mobility, work rate and hand speed en route to a KO6 victory.

Although Weaver lost just about every round before the finish, he had his moments where he landed strong jabs, body punches and rights to the head that marked up Lewis’ left eye before he was ultimately mauled by The Lion.

The end occurred in round 6 when Lewis connected with a thunderous right cross over Weaver’s slow jabs that resulted in the only knockdown of the bout where referee Vic Drakulich proceeded to count out the courageous former world champion.

Lennox Lewis would go on to achieve greatness by cementing his legacy as the Greatest British Heavyweight Boxer of All Time and one of the Greatest British Boxers of All Time along the likes of Ted Lewis, Jimmy Wilde, Ken Buchanan, Bob Fitzsimmons, Howard Winstone, Joe Calzaghe, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn etc.

Throughout his 14 year career that lasted from 1989 to 2003, he triumphed over the likes of Tony Tucker, Phil Jackson, Lionel Butler, Gary Mason, Frank Bruno, Michael Grant, Mike Weaver, Tommy Morrison, Ray Mercer, David Tua, Oliver McCall, Tyrell Biggs, Henry Akinwande, Mike Tyson, Hasim Rahman, Shannon Briggs, Donovan Ruddock, Zeljko Mavrovic, Vitali Klitschko & Evander Holyfield (2x).

He retired with a final record of 41(32)-2-1.

Note: The outcome of Lennox Lewis’ 1st meeting with Evander Holyfield was highly controversial, as it was evident that Lewis had outclassed Holyfield but was blatantly denied his victory thus it is only realistic to include it in his resume.
