In boxing, if you think you will lose... you're already halfway there.

I've worked hard and accomplished what I've accomplished in the heavyweight scene.

If the media didn't know I played chess, there'd be no angle on me at all.

I cannot fight everyone at once. I have to take one at a time.

Whatever I do, I always want to get better.

There is just one rule about boxing: never bet on the white guy.

I've got a new life now, a new future, there's a lot more to Lennox Lewis than just being a boxer.

It's not rage that drives me, it's competition.

The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside.

Adversity is something that makes reaching your goals so much more rewarding than if it didn't exist.

Boxing isn't just about brute strength; it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.

Sometimes success needs interruption to regain focus and shake off complacency.

Action is what separates the do-ers from the dreamers.

In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.

I couldn't wait until I grew up. I used to look at my mom's stockings and put them on with her high heels and mess with my hair.

Injuries made me a believer in cross-training.

I don't always have the best eating habits. I like butter and ice cream. There are days when I should work out and I don't. But it's never too late to change old habits.

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed.

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.
