Boxing: BBBC dismayed by Lewis brawl

The British Boxing Board of Control have reacted with dismay to last night’s televised brawl between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman in California.

The pair, who clash in a world heavyweight title rematch in Las Vegas on November 17, knocked over a table and fought on the floor of an American television studio after Lewis reacted angrily to jibes from his opponent which he believed questioned his sexuality.
