Hi folks.I've just read that Don king is going to offer Lennox Lewis a £25million bid for him to return to the fight game at the heavyweight division this week.Don King want Lewis to come back fighting and challenge Vitali Klitchko sometime next year

Lewis is now 43 years old!!

What do you guys think will happen??Will Lewis take the chance??

I very much doubt it.. Unless Lewis is extremely hard up for cash, which is doubtful considering his promotional and commentator gigs that he has, then i don't ever see this happening... it has to have been at least 5 years since he has fought, and that is a longgg lay off for even someone who is in their prime.. On top of that Vitali has pulled out of more fights than he's actually fought.. For lewis to sign a fight, train his ass off and commit to fighting someone who may not even be able to fight, seems silly to me.

Don King will have talks with Lennox Lewis later in the week so we'll find out what his choice is!Icant really see this getting pulled off ,but you never know £25million for one fight win or lose is a great lump some!!!!Time will tell

Don King hates the Klitchko brothers for dismantling his fighters and therefor cutting down on their marketability and that is a big loss to his greedy ass now he's grabbing at straws.Lewis wouldn't give Vitali rematch while he had the chance in 2003. I doubt you could melt Lewis down and pour him in the ring now.
