News about Riddick Bowe

Lennox Lewis triumphed over Evander Holyfield in the highly awaited rematch to capture the American's WBA and IBF heavyweight titles on November 13 1999. Lewis was the first heavyweight since Riddick Bowe seven years ago to reign uncontested as the disputed champion's reign. Despite saying he'd avenge the only one he lost following that night in Paradise, Nevada, Lewis' tenure as the nation's top ranked champion would be short lived, with his WBA title stripped just months later for failing to face the association's top ranked contender.

Nothing expresses a fighter's greatness more than three, or more, wars against a similarly mighty opponent.

Muhammad Ali (top left), Lennox Lewis (top right), Vitali Klitschko (bottom right), and Evander Holyfield (bottom left), the former champion who went on to become the only four-time champion. It would be a huge accomplishment if Joshua can join them on that page of the history books by battling his way to repentance against Usyk. But a place in the pantheon of all-time ring greats defies more than just being a triple crown champion. In Joshua's case, he'd need to step into the ring with and defeat Tyson Fury (inset right).

Ever since Anthony Joshua's weight became a point of discussion since he first began to professional boxing in 2013. Fans from around the world have blasted the British heavyweight for being 'too heavy,'too heavy,' and 'too sluggish.' So, Sportsmail's Charlotte Daly investigated whether there is a direct correlation between Joshua's appearances in the rings and the number of the scales, ahead of his blockbuster fight with Oleksandr Usyk on August 20.
