Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Riddick Bowe
George Foreman
Answer
Riddick Bowe relinquished his WBC title in 1996, paving the way for Lennox Lewis to claim the championship. Bowe's decision stemmed from a contractual dispute with promoter Don King, who had scheduled a title defense against Andrew Golota. Bowe refused to fight, citing a lack of preparation time, and subsequently vacated the title, allowing Lewis to seize the opportunity and become the new WBC heavyweight champion.
