Description : Here we have an original HBO closed circuit poster for Lennox Lewis vs. Zeljko Mavrovic, the WBC No#1 contender. Billed as "Battle of the Giants", contested on March 28, 1998 at the Mohegan Sun Casino, Connecticut, for the WBC and Lineal Heavyweight Championships.
Though Lewis was able to control most of the fight, he was unable to score a knockdown over Mavrovi?. Lewis was able to land several power punches through the fight, but the punches had seemingly little effect on Mavrovi? who stood his ground and let Lewis tire himself out by throwing a large amount of punches. However, Mavrovi? did not generate nearly as much offense as Lewis did, throwing 298 punches, over 200 fewer than Lewis' 507 punches thrown. Ultimately, Lewis was able to pick up the victory by unanimous decision with lopsided scores of 119109, 117111 and 117112 to retain his WBC World Heavyweight Title.
