Hasim Rahman vs. Lennox Lewis II
Hasim Rahman vs. Lennox Lewis II, billed as "Final Judgment", was a professional boxing match contested on November 17, 2001 for the WBC, IBF, IBO and ''Lineal'' Heavyweight Championships.
==Background==
On April 22, 2001, 20–1 underdog Hasim Rahman pulled off one of the biggest upsets in boxing history after he was able to knock out the heavily favored champion Lennox Lewis in the fifth round of their fight.〔(Rahman Takes Lewis's Belts In Big Upset ), N.Y. Times article, 2001-04-22, Retrieved on 2013-07-16〕 Following his victory, Rahman joined powerful promoter Don King's promotional firm. Rahman also received multimillion-dollar offers from cable giants Showtime and HBO which would allow them to exclusively air his fights. Showtime offered Rahman $19.25 million to make his first defense against their premier fighter Mike Tyson, while HBO countered with a $17 million offer to meet Lewis in a rematch. Rahman, however, turned down both offers and instead opted to take a less lucrative fight against fringe contender David Izon that would net him $5 million. Lewis, however, had a rematch clause installed in the contract for his previous fight with Rahman and went to court in hopes of having Rahman make his first defense against him. In June, a judge ruled in Lewis' favor and in June, both Rahman and Lewis agreed to a rematch to take place on November 17.〔(Lewis Wins Court Fight to Force Rahman Rematch ), Daily Mail article, Retrieved on 2013-07-16〕〔(Rahman-Lewis Rematch Official ), Baltimore Sun article, 2001-08-07, Retrieved on 2013-07-16〕
