Productbeschrijving
In every way, Lennox Lewis is the big man of boxing. The fighter with the muscle and a mind of his own. Proof that in the ring, with quick wits and quick fists, you can still come from nowhere and succeed.
Lennox Lewis reveals the boxer's relentless drive to become the only world heavyweight champion Britain has produced this century. It describes his troubled childhood in London's East End, and speaks about the hurt of his separation from his mother Violet, who had no choice but to leave her sons behind as she built a new life for them in Canada. It tells of the playground fights that prompted his Canadian headmaster to steer Lewis into boxing at the age of twelve.
From the ferocity of the ring to the ruthless wheeler-dealing conducted behind the scenes, the story has a cast of characters to match the epic story: Mike Tyson, who sparred with Lennox as he prepared for the Los Angeles Olympics; the notorious Don (Mr 1000 Volts) King who tried to sign Lennox after he won an Olympic title in Seoul in 1988; manager Frank Maloney, who against all odds signed Lennox and steered him to the big time.
Drawing on first-hand testimonies as well as in-depth research, Lennox Lewis goes behind the headlines to present a portrait of Lennox the boxer, and Lennox the man.
