Lenox Lewis is Canadian not British

[king4oranges]

Lennox Lewis is a product of the Canadian Boxing program. Who cares where an individual was born.

Exactly the only reason he went back was for business purposes.

He's Britain

This guy went to my highschool, theres a picture of him on the basketball team and he also went to the olympics for Canada. Why do people call him a British Fighter?

what a moron.

I'd red k you but I cba right now

Lennox drinks PG Tips, holidays in Benidorm and supports West Ham.
Deal with it.

"The important thing is where he learned how to fight. Which "boxing school" does he represent"?................................

He learned to box with Vic Murdock and Brian Kelly ( I think) they were the prominent team coaches for the J.O program and Open Class in Canada.
I did some meets with those guys just prior to Lennox beginning, my son and a few CT. fighters and inner city kids from NY. fought against their team.

When Lennox went to England I'm not sure who trained him but it didn't last long. He signed with Stan Hoffman and he was trained by a good friend of mine Johnny Davenport, in Jersey. That's when he started to learn boxing at a much higher level. Johnny taught him to move smoothly and punch more effectively instead of being so stiff.
They had a falling out over work ethics and styles and training procedures after a few years so Johnny left. Davenport was a demanding trainer who insisted on working on new techniques and complained that Lewis wasn't adapting or working hard at the new methods. He questioned Lennox commitment and willingness. Johnny was a tough guy and great trainer.
