Mission Impossible by James Lawton

Lennox Lewis finally won it all in Las Vegas on 13 November 1999. He was crowned undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, becoming the first Briton in the 20th century to land the richest prize in sport. But Lewis did more than beat boxing's legendary warrior Evander Holyfield. He had survived one of the world's most outrageous decisions in boxing history following the first contest between the two fighters, the awarding of a draw at New York's Madison Square Garden after he had clearly outfought, outpunched and outpointed Holyfield. He took on the dark forces of boxing - including the sport's manipulator-in-chief Don King - and emerged triumphant. James Lawton followed Lewis on every step of his extraordinary journey and the result is more than just another boxing story. This tale is of a dedicated man's battle to emulate the greatest names in boxing.
