Lewis sets his sights on Roy Jones Jnr

LENNOX LEWIS would have to take the threat of Roy Jones Jnr very seriously if he wanted to end his career on a high against the most highly-rated fighter in the world.

The idea of Lewis fighting a man several stone lighter and inches shorter was ridiculed when first suggested despite former middle- weight Jones winning the World Boxing Association's heavyweight belt to confirm his ranking as the best pound-for-pound boxer around.

Lewis wants a showdown with the American if he successfully retains his World Boxing Council title against Vitali Klitschko at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles tomorrow night.
