Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman, billed as "Thunder in Africa", was a professional boxing match contested on April 22, 2001 for the WBC, IBF, IBO and ''Lineal'' Heavyweight Championships. ==Background== Following three successful title defenses in 2000, Lennox Lewis turned his sights on a potential superfight with Mike Tyson. Lewis had originally hoped to meet Tyson during the summer of 2001, however, Tyson was issued a three-month suspension early in the year after testing positive for marijuana following his 2000 fight with Andrew Golota.〔(Lewis's Timetable: Tyson, Then Quit ), N.Y. Times article, 2000-12-25, Retrieved on 2013-07-08〕 As such, Lewis opted to make his next defense against little-known Hasim Rahman. Lewis came into the fight as a 20–1 favorite and paid little attention to his opponent, having begun negotiations for his long-awaited match with Tyson while also being challenged to a possible unification match by WBA Heavyweight Champion John Ruiz.〔(Tyson and Lewis Agree, But Can Pay-Per-View? ), N.Y.
