Lennox Lewis has laughed off claims from Dillian Whyte regarding his place in history next to the other heavyweights of his era. Whyte spoke of his admiration for Evander Holyfield, appearing to rank him as top from the 1990s.
Whyte said on Sirius XM’s Ak and Barak Show: “
I think Evander Holyfield should be higher up than Mike Tyson in history. Holyfield fought everyone. He fought Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson. He fought Michael Moorer and he fought Riddick Bowe. Plus, he also fought George Foreman.
“Mike Tyson didn’t even fight all those guys. He only fought Lennox Lewis and he lost to Lennox Lewis. I believe in Evander Holyfield, there is a case in saying that he won both fights against Lennox Lewis.”
Lennox replied to Whyte’s comments by tweeting: “
Maybe Dillian went to the Eugenia Williams School of Boxing Scoring.”
