Lennox Lewis, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, has promised his army of sporting fans that he is out to do battle. He gave a frank interview in the downtown gym in Los Angeles where he worked out watched by the British media and auction winners from The Staples Center.
He told reporters after Emanuel Steward, his legendary trainer, argued that Vitali Klitschko (32-1, 31 KO’s) would go to ground early due to his style of fighting. “I don’t get paid for overtime and should the opportunity present itself then I will take him out.
“Klitschko has been calling me for a long time and he is definitely somebody that is big, that feels he is better than me and I am out to show him that he is not. I don’t think he is that good.
“His representatives tried to get my belt outside the ring but he is going to have to fight me for it in the ring.
Lennox looked in very good shape as he went through his floor exercises and pummelled the bags and speed balls for about an hour and a half. The hunger is still there as he listened carefully to Steward’s advice

.
He concluded his discussions by saying that he felt it was important also to win in spectacular style. Lewis said, I understand how knock-outs are judged and definitely getting rid of Klitschko in a fine fashion would be a back in the ring and feeling very fit and ready to go. The show must go on, for the sake of my fans out there, even though I am taking a pay cut by fighting Vitali now.
This is a true sign of the sporting figure, and shows that Lennox The Lion1 Lewis, grows from strength to strength.
