In his previous fight on June 8, 2002, Mike Tyson had met WBC and IBF heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. In what would prove to be the final title match of Tyson's career, he was thoroughly out boxed by Lewis, who from the second round on, won every round on the judge's scorecards before knocking out Tyson in the eighth.
