Lennox Lewis had to cut off a fan from taking a picture with him after the overzealous culprit gave the ex-heavyweight champ more than he bargained for.
In a resurfaced clip, Lewis made the boxing enthusiast pay for not playing the photo game when waiting to meet his idol.
Lewis always has time for anyone when approached, as the former undisputed king has repeatedly proved at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Attending the Deontay Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz rematch as an analyst for PBC on FOX, Lewis was happily mingling with fans all weekend.
Even WBN got in on the action when bumping into ‘The Pugilist Specialist’ after getting accreditation for the fight in the Arena lobby.
But there are ways of doing things.
Lennox Lewis and overzealous fan
One fan proved how not to take a picture with anyone. The bumbling space invader put his fist too close to Lewis’ chin.
Video captured by Elie Seckbach inside the ground floor of the MGM Grand Garden showed Lewis taking it all in his stride.
In the famous ilk, when Mike Tyson elbowed a drunk fan who invaded his space in May 2015, Lewis reacted by moving away with a subtle shove.
The consummate professional, Lewis, walked straight into an interview discussing Wilder’s incredible knockout.
The fan was a little worse for wear and upset he didn’t get his snap with the champ, who was looking dapper in a special suit designed for the evening.
Tyson’s incident happened at the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight at the same venue. The fight remains the most lucrative of all time.
Celebrities have often packed out Vegas for Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Wilder.
As for Lewis, the champ is always super-cool and has time for anyone and everyone if you do things the right way.
