    it's like a rapper who grew up in bel air or beverly hills. when he starts rapping he's gonna say he grew up in compton or south central.
    good point here, he said when interviewed before fights he considers himself a brit but that could just be for money, i dont know,

    maybe he says something different off camera,

        rumor has it that lennox was paid L100,000 pounds to start repping british when he turned pro after he won the gold medal at the olympics.

        it's been said that a notable mp convinced the government to pay lennox the money and has made several other payments to him and his former promoter. apparently that certain former member of parliament , who shall remain nameless , was a big boxing afficianado and was desperate to have a prominent british figure in boxing at the time.



        true story.

              Here's the answer to this question:

              What does he sound like? A Jamaican? A Canadian? A Brit?

                the accent is fake.

                british gov't linguistics experts helped him develop a british accent.
