Notable Dates

Eight months after being dethroned by a wild-swinging Ricardo Mayorga, former World Boxing Association Welterweight champion Guyanese Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis, came back to life on November 22, 2002 with a first round knockout of Mexican Oscar Delgado. The fight was held in Caguas, Puerto Rico and was used as a warm up for Lewis to launch another world title bid. After devouring Delgado, Lewis, the first Guyanese to win a world title, rushed into `The Express Train’ Antonio Margarito in February of 2003.
The World Boxing Organisation champion took less than six minutes to end Lewis’ hopes of gaining another title as the Guyanese was TKOed at two minutes and 11 seconds of the second round. Thereafter, Lewis apparently lost the urge to be competitive.
He would have four fights in as many years (three of them against `Deadly’ Denny Dalton) winning one, drawing one and losing two. `The Albouystown Cyclone’ called it quits in 2008 after a controversial points defeat at the hands of Howard Eastman.
After a 15-year professional career Lewis walked away with a record of 23 victories (20 Kos) four defeats, two draws and one No Contest.
