==Background==
Born and raised as one of seven siblings, the second oldest, by a single mother in New Orleans, Louisiana, Lewis was troubled growing up and was often involved in street fighting.〔http://www.txmma.com/the-story-of-derrick-the-black-beast-lewis-fighting-at-bellator-on-may-21st/〕 In 1999, Lewis and his family relocated to Houston, Texas due to his mother being in an abusive relationship. At the age of 17, Lewis began training in boxing and was preparing for his first amateur fight when the gym unexpectedly shut down.〔http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/6/22/5829788/no-small-wonder-derrick-lewis-journey-from-sugar-land-to-the-promised〕 Two weeks after graduating from high school, Lewis was charged with aggravated assault, and was placed on probation. Two years later, while attending Kilgore College on a full scholarship for football, Lewis violated his probation and was sentenced to five years in prison, but ended up serving three and a half years.〔http://mmajunkie.com/2013/02/a-run-in-with-the-kkk-eventually-led-legacy-fc-champ-derrick-lewis-to-mma〕 A week after being released, Lewis was introduced to mixed martial arts by a friend and while working as a tow-truck driver, he continued with boxing, and was taken under the wing of the legendary George Foreman. However, after dominating in his first professional mixed martial arts fight, Lewis decided to focus on mixed martial arts.〔http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/6/22/5829788/no-small-wonder-derrick-lewis-journey-from-sugar-land-to-the-promised〕
