Lennox Lewis vs. Phil Jackson was a professional boxing match contested on May 6, 1994 for the WBC Heavyweight Championship. ==Background== After being awarded the WBC title in December of 1992, Lennox Lewis would go on to make to successful defenses. First, Lewis took on WBC's number one ranked heavyweight Tony Tucker and defeated him by a lopsided unanimous decision. Then, Lewis met countryman Frank Bruno. Bruno gave Lewis trouble through the first six rounds and two judge's had the bout tied while the third had Bruno ahead by four points, but Lewis was able to rebound in round 7 and achieve a technical knockout victory after the referee stopped the fight as Bruno was being pummeled against the ropes by Lewis. Following his victory over Bruno, there were talks about a possible unification match with the WBA and IBF Heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, who had defeated Riddick Bowe in a rematch to reclaim the titles, but Holyfield was unsure if he would continue boxing and chose to forgo the match.〔(Holyfield-Lewis a Go? ), N.Y. Times article, 1993-11-30, Retrieved on 2013-06-01〕 As a result, Lewis' next opponent became little-known Phil Jackson, who sported an impressive 30–1, but had faced mostly journeymen throughout his professional career and had been dominated by heavyweight contender Donovan "Razor" Ruddock before being knocked out by Ruddock in the fourth round of their 1992 match. Jackson was given virtually no chance of beating Lewis and came into the fight as a 16–1 underdog. Jackson and his trainer Pat Burns blamed Jackson's loss to Ruddock on lack of training and vowed to be ready when it came time to face Lewis.〔(Jackson Won't Kneel For Lewis ), Baltimore Sun article, 1994-05-04, Retrieved on 2013-06-01〕
