Vitali Fights 2003
Vitali Klitschko VTKO 6 Lennox Lewis
On June 21st Dr. Vitali Klitschko lost the WBC championship bout against the British titleholder Lennox Lewis in Los Angeles by way of TKO after six rounds, but earned sympathies all over the world. Leading on points after six rounds, the referee stopped the fight during rounds six and seven on advice of the doctor. In the third round, Vitali had suffered a deep cut above the left eye. Whether this was due to a head butt by Lewis or a punch was not immediately clear. After a rather hectic start, a tremendously intense bout developed. Both fighters tried hard for the decisive knockout punch. It was Vitali who dominated the bout and was ahead by 58:56 on all scorecards.
