This item is sourced from Harold Shadow Knight, who was in Lennox Lewis’ corner for 13 years. The blue, wooden fight stool is from Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield at Madison Square Garden on March 13, 1999. The top side of the stool reads “LEWIS STOOL - L.L. VS. - HOLYFIELD I - MADISON SQUARE - GARDEN - MAR. 13, 1999 - UNDISPUTED HVWT. - TITLE” in black marker. The match that was supposed to prove the undisputed heavyweight champion was declared a draw, but public sentiment was that Lewis should’ve been awarded the victory. After losing the Heavyweight Championship to Hasim Rahman on April 21, 2001, Lennox Lewis had to take Rahman to court to honor their rematch clause in their contract. This blue fight stool is from their second fight, where Lewis got his shot at redemption and didn’t miss. Lewis knocked out Rahman in the fourth round on November 17, 2001 to earn back his title. On the underside of the seat in black marker reads “LEWIS VS. RAHMAN II - MANDALAY BAY - LAS VEGAS - IBR-WBC-IBO - HVWT. CHAMPIONSHIP - OF THE WORLD - NOV. 14, 2001 - RECAPTURED TITLES - KO 4TH RD.”. Stool says NOV. 14, 2001 but the fight was on NOV. 17, 2001. This lot will require additional shipping charges due to size and weight.
