LEWIS RECOGNISED AS CHAMP

BRITAIN’S Lennox Lewis has been recognised as undisputed world heavyweight champion after the resolution of a cash row between his backers and the International Boxing Federation (IBF). “Thankfully, the lawyers representing us and the IBF have worked it out and Lennox is now recognised as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,” Lewis’s manager Frank Maloney told Sky Television on Tuesday.
