Description : Here we have a Ring Magazine special 8 page fold out poster for the SuperFight of 1993....This all British affair got the handle of "The Battle of Britain" This fight took place on 1 October 1993, at the National Stadium, Cardiff Arms Park, Cardiff, Wales. It was between WBC Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis, who was making the second defence of his title and Frank Bruno, who was fighting in his third world title bout, his two previous title attemps where against Tim Witherspoon & Mike Tyson.

Bruno took the fight to Lewis, but Lewis won the first round. Bruno then went on the offensive and took the second round, with Lewis trying to use his left jab to win points. Bruno hit Lewis on the right of his head in the third round, which shook him. Lewis later said that "It didn't hurt me", but the punch concentrated Lewis' efforts on the job in hand. At the end of the sixth round, both Castellano and Roth had the fight level at 57–57, with Morgan scoring the fight 59–55 in favour of Bruno. At the start of the seventh round Bruno hit Lewis with a left jab and continued with a series of short punches. Lewis said "He thought he had me... but actually I just lost my footing. I saw every punch coming". Lewis then hit Bruno with a looping left hook which staggered him, and continued with a series of head punches. Lewis said "I saw him drop his right hand and just came out with my left hook". In a momentary break during the onslaught, Lewis was warned by Vann for stiff-arming with his left hand. Upon resuming Lewis finished off Bruno, who was by then staggering on unsteady legs and completely unable to defend himself. Vann stopped the fight one minute and twelve seconds into the seventh round.
