Indeed. So sad , a good man. 😔

Great seeing Lennox (Junior - as I knew him in highschool years). Such a stand-up gentleman and an extraordinary kind soul.

I sparred with McCrory for 2 weeks up at Catterick army garrison we stayed in the barracks the army boy looked after us very well food and training plus tuck us shooting with hand guns and machine guns swimming in pool I had a real good time and the sparring was easy I give McCrory a black eye but the papers said it was one of the army boys but just publicity for them it was with the Green Howard's 19th regiment good days

Thanks for the uploads.

So solid...yes indeed! 😆

Imagine being 6`4" and almost 16 stone fully trained, and Lennox can STILL throw you around like a ( In McCrory`s words) Rag doll. Lennox must have been frighteningly strong.

Manny Steward is rumored to have said Lewis was the strongest heavyweight he ever trained. Lewis definitely has supreme gifts. Shame we never saw him vs. Bowe. Two of the strongest guys at the time.

@@philgarrett5498 Early in Lewis' career, he was pretty aggressive and bombed guys out. Then he became more of a chess player. I'm wondering if he got his bell rung in sparring or in a fight, then realized he shouldn't brawl.

I'm currently in the process of watching Lennox Lewis's career from his beginnings till the end of his career. This is some of the first EARLY fight footage of him that I've ever seen. He has good power if not very good power already in this stage of his career, a good jab, and can throw and land fairly fast punches from all angles: Lots of uppercuts and hooks even when fighting in close range. At his size, this can make him very lethal and adept. One of the few things that I dislike about his fighting technique is that he just doesn't 'let his fists fly' as much as some other heavyweights esp. someone like Evander Holyfield did. I like to see fighters that are always 'busy' -- that don't spend much time tying their opponent up but spend the majority of their time constantly throwing punches -be it jabs or other punches. So many modern day boxers, especially modern day heavyweights just don't let their fists fly like most heavyweights and pretty much boxers from all other weight classes used to...

Gary mason rip

Great heavy-duty boxers

Lennox only had that fight to become popular in the UK 🇬🇧

Frank Bruno digging out Gary Newbon lol!

Good ol' frank stole the show

Never noticed it at the time but that final right hand looks like it misses

I think the record will show Lewis was the greatest heavyweight of the 90s, of his era, a bit more difficult to say cos he never fought Bowe and Tyson was well past his best when they fought

In England they didnt want Lennox as they had Bruno but they loved him in the end

Lennox is good man. I can sense that he realised very early that McCrory was completely outmatched. From then on Lennox was fighting at only 30 - 35% power. Just enough to get the job done. Lennox didn`t want to humiliate Glen. There was no call to.

@@fernandopessoa7077 McCrory later said that Lennox was throwing him around like a; "Rag doll". When McCrory met Evander Holyfield some years later they talked about fighting Lennox. He said all Evander could talk about was Lewis` amazing physical strength. So, yes;....you can be sure that Lennox never needed to use more than 30 - 35 % of his power to get the job done here. Also, David Tua.....himself a very powerful man, said after his fight against Lennox;........" I`m just glad I got out of there without getting seriously hurt." That is the fear Lennox could instil in his opponents.

Lewis looks huge compared to Mccrory.

He felt Lewis power and gave up, he knew it was futile. There are levels to this sport and Mcrory was European level at best. Glen was a cruiser and really had no business in there with a bonafide HW, he was no Evander Holyfield, David haye or usyk

Frank Bruno clearly doesn't like Gary Newbon.

Jim Watt was totally wrong commentating that’s British boxing is as safe as it could be... nope! The investigation into the Watson fight found the doctor at ring side had NO Medical equipment with him. Watson sued the BBBC and won damages, incidentally they had no insurance and had to sell their London headquarters to make a part payment towards the damages, Michael went short...... So no Mr Watt it wasn’t as safe as it could have been.

Glen needled him at a charity dinner until Lewis wanted to beat him up. He needed the payday.

Check out young Lennox getting nasty in the first round! He should have never lost this. Except he didn't have the chin to be a brawler. McCrory needed to fire back or at least use the jab to keep Lewis off. Bad performance.

This is what you get when the bigger guy is significantly better than the smaller guy lol. Normally the smaller guy is quicker and has some advantages over the smaller guy, not here lol

Laughable match up with Glenn 'I sparred with Mike Tyson' Mcrory. Scrubout chancer

And then went on to become the best heavyweight the world has ever seen 🥊🥊

Lewis never had any plans to fight Glen McRory, but was goaded into it by him when they sat next to each other at charity dinner. Glen needed to pay off some debts I beleive.

McCrory was hit with an air punch, what a weasel. Total dive. He fought like a scared 3rd grade girl.

Man and a boy.
