Why was Lennox Lewis stripped of his title?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

In April 2000 Lewis was stripped of the WBA portion of his title after a legal dispute with the promoter Don King prevented a timely defense of his title against an acceptable opponent. That same year Lewis went on to defeat Michael Grant, Franz Botha, and David Tua to retain his IBF and WBC heavyweight titles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

  IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois is hungry to get back in the ring against Oleksandr Usyk, demanding the undisputed champion face him in a rematch. The winner of Dubois vs Parker was expected to fight unified champion Usyk next, with Dubois making clear his desire to exact revenge on the Ukrainian. Usyk stopped Dubois in 2023 after the Briton dropped the unbeaten southpaw with a low blow, which many believed was a legal body shot. Dubois was due to defend the IBF heavyweight title against Parker on Saturday, but the champion was pulled from the fight on two days\u2019 notice due to illness.<\/p>\n
