20 Incredible Joe Rogan Experience Episodes Every Fight Fan Must Watch
16. JRE MMA Show 80 - Lennox Lewis & Russell Peters
One of the best episodes for fans of the sweet science, Lennox Lewis and Russell Peters shared a bunch of hilarious stories and interesting anecdotes on this podcast. The last heavyweight champion to hold the undisputed title, Lewis has seen it all when it comes to boxing and is very open and honest about his career.
We understand that it might seem strange that comedian Russell Peters is on the podcast, but the Canadian is a massive boxing fan and used to train early on his life. In fact, we learn on this podcast that Peters met the future champion when he was training as an amateur in Canada.
Although Lewis has enough stories to keep you captivated throughout the entire episode, the one that sticks out the most centres around his early sparring battles with a young Mike Tyson. It's truly fascinating listening to Lewis describe the first time the two eventual foes met each other and the reaction Tyson's trainer, Cus D'Amato, had when they fought.
