Answer

The Ring magazine awarded Lennox Lewis the heavyweight title before his fight with Mike Tyson. This was a controversial decision, as Tyson was the reigning champion and had not lost a fight in over a decade. However, The Ring argued that Lewis was the more deserving fighter, as he had won his last six fights and had not lost a fight in over four years.
