ONE OF THE BLOODIEST HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHTS ENDED IN CONTROVERSY 😳🩸 On June 21, 2003, Lennox Lewis defended his heavyweight championship against Vitali Klitschko in Los Angeles. Klitschko had taken the fight on short notice and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards after six rounds, with Lewis struggling against the Ukrainian’s relentless pressure. But Lewis had opened a horrific cut above Klitschko’s left eye in the third round, and the damage only worsened as the fight continued. Despite Klitschko desperately wanting to continue, the ringside doctor stopped the fight before round seven, handing Lewis a TKO victory. The decision sparked outrage, with Klitschko furious at being denied the chance to finish a fight he was winning. Lewis never fought again, retiring as heavyweight champion in 2004 without giving Klitschko a rematch. Follow @Knockoutsx for more of boxing’s most unforgettable fights! 🥊🔥
