Lennox Lewis Inducted into International Boxing Hall of Fame

Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on 15 June 2009 at Canastota, New York. Lewis, once undisputed world heavyweight champion, is now among the legends of world boxing. The 43-year-old paid his tribute to his childhood hero Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest ever boxer, while receiving the honor.


Lennox Lewis said that he had used to imitate great boxer Muhammad Ali in front of mirror during his childhood and he did not think that he would be able to come to this far in his life. There is no doubt, Lewis is one of the best fighters of his generation and has received many successes during his illustrious career. He won 41 games including 32 knockouts, lost 2 and drew 1 during his 44-match professional career.
