Manage episode 388747994 series 2595996
Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson, billed as Lewis–Tyson: Is On, was a heavyweight professional boxing match that took place on June 8, 2002, at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee.
Lennox Lewis was a promising 18-year-old amateur and Mike Tyson a precocious 17-year-old, when Lewis and his amateur coach Arnie Boehm were invited by Cus D’Amato to join he, Tyson, and Kevin Rooney for eight days of training and sparring in the Catskills in up state New York. Those eight days in the Catskills would forge the path that both Lewis & Tyson would eventually collide on, but not before each facing adversity along the way
In this episode, we pick up the careers of Lewis & Tyson in 1995 and present the events that would ultimately lead to their 2002 showdown. Stories from outside the ring and infamous moments all feature in Legendary Nights - The Tale Of Lennox Lewis & Mike Tyson.
