Fury reveals after which fight he became interested in boxing

WBC heavyweight belt holder Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) said that his first serious childhood memory of boxing was a duel between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman.

“Perhaps this is my first boxing memory. I’m talking about the fight between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman. It was an impression that struck me. We did not sleep all night, waiting for the start of the battle. And then – bang. A few rounds later, Lennox loses by knockout. This is my first boxing memory. After this fight, I became interested in boxing for real, ”Fury said.

Note that the first fight between Lewis and Rahman took place on April 22, 2001 in South Africa. Hasim sensationally knocked out the Briton in the fifth round. After 7 months, Lennox took a convincing revenge at the Mandalay Bay arena in Las Vegas (USA), knocking out Rahman in the fourth three-minute period.
