Evander Holyfield vs. Lennox Lewis II, billed as "Unfinished Business", was a professional boxing match contested on November 13, 1999 for the WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO and ''Lineal'' Heavyweight championships. ==Background== The two fighters had met eight months prior in Madison Square Garden. Though Lewis had seemingly done enough to win, the bout was declared a draw, with one judge ruling the fight in favor of Lewis 116–113, another scoring the fight in Holyfield's favor with a score of 115–113 and the third declaring the fight even at 115–115.〔(Lewis Lands The Punches, But Holyfield Gets The Draw ), Chicago Tribune article, 1999-03-14, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 The ruling became one of the most controversial in boxing history, and as such, the three sanctioning bodies quickly ordered a rematch between the two.〔(A Rematch For Holyfield and Lewis Is Ordered ), N.Y. Times article, 1999-03-15, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 A week after their controversial first fight, Holyfield and Lewis officially agreed to the rematch, with the fight's $30 million purse being evenly split between the two fighters.〔(September Rematch for Holyfield and Lewis ), N.Y. Times article, 1999-03-22, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 The match was originally scheduled for September, but it was later pushed back to November 13, with Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center being announced as the site of the fight.〔(Holyfield-Lewis rematch set for November 13 ), ESPN article, 1999-08-28, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 Ironically, the fight would take place exactly seven years after Riddick Bowe had defeated Holyfield to become the last Undisputed Heavyweight champion. In addition to the four titles the two men held being on the line, the vacant IBO Heavyweight title was also up for grabs.
