LENNOX LEWIS
"Mike Tyson at the age of 19 ruled the world, but like a fine wine I came along later on.
"I wanted to complete my legacy as the best fighter on the planet. I showed boxing who is the best in the world.
"I caught him good and he took it like a man.
"I wanted to get him back in the ring. Some of those punches he took on the right side of his head caught him real good.
"I may retire."
MIKE TYSON
"I am happy for Lewis and I hope he gives me a fight one more time.
"I said it would take two or three more fights before I fought him. He knows I love him and his mother. I am thankful he gave me the chance."
