Lennox Lewis: No comeback!
Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has released a statement on rumors of a comeback:
"Although I'm flattered that the boxing community is eager to have me back in the ring, I have no plans to return. I have no idea how these rumors get started, but I'm a man of my word - I will remain retired. I'm happy with my life and I don't need to chase a big payday. I'm enjoying commentating for HBO and I'm keeping busy with business ventures and fatherhood. I'm proud of what I accomplished as champion and confident that my legacy will remain intact."

No. The rumours about him coming out of retirement are just that: rumours.
Lennox is a smart fighter. He is worth mega millions without coming back to fight for $25 Million, and knows that if he does decide to return to boxing, he will be putting his legacy at risk.

There were rumours however Lennox Lewis just recently has said he is going to remain retired. But again his attitude can change.

He's too busy entering the World Poker Tour. Couldn't believe I saw him playing on tv the other day. He lost.
