A boxer should quit at the top, as they say. But thatยs complicated. There are plenty of people in boxing who make money out off you. And they tell you that youยve still got it, that itยs still getting better.
Lennox LewisPatience is a part of boxing. After I had missed out on the Olympic gold medal in 1984, a lot of people tried to talk me into turning professional quickly to make money. They told me that the next Olympics in Seoul would be boycotted again, that I was wasting my life, blah blah. But I still had unfinished business. I wanted the gold medal, and I got it in ย88. Only then was I ready to turn professional.
