Former undisputed world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis was the latest legendary boxer to visit Fight for Peace’s London Academy. Lewis was in town following the Laureus World Sports Awards held on Monday 6th January and came down on Wednesday to North Woolwich where Fight for Peace is based in London. Lewis follows Wladimir Klitschko, Barry Mcguigan, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Frank Bruno and Tim Witherspoon as boxers who have visited or shown their support to Fight for Peace.

During his meeting with the Youth Council, Lewis exhorted the values of boxing for helping young people develop and grow: ""Boxing taught me tolerance, built my self-esteem at a time when I didn't believe in myself." The boxer's visit was also documented by the Evening Standard and you can read the article on their website.
