Dillian Whyte vs. Ian Lewison results
By Scott Gilfoid: Dillian Whyte (19-1, 15 KOs) defeated Ian Lewison (12-3-1, 8 KOs) by a 10 round stoppage on Friday night to capture the vacant British heavyweight title at the Hydro in Glascow, Scotland. The fight was halted at the 10th round by Lewison’s corner. It appeared that he had a nose problem that caused the fight to be halted.
In the 10th, Lewison, 34, turned his back to Whyte and started blowing his nose. Whyte attempted to hit him with a big right hand, but missed narrowly. From that point on, Lewison spent most of the time in a defensive posture and didn’t throw many shots. It didn’t take a genius to guess that the fight would be halted after the 10th round, and sure enough that’s what happened.
Lewison started off the fight well in nailing Whyte with huge shots in the 1st round. Whyte didn’t have the two-fisted game to stand and trade with Lewison, so he was forced to retreat constantly and throw jabs. Lewison looked quite good at that point in the fight.
Dillian Whyte vs. Ian Lewison on October 7
By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Dillian Whyte (18-1, 14 KO) will be fighting 34-year-old Ian Lewison (12-2-1, 8 KOs) in what appears to be a mismatch on October 7 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The Whyte-Lewison fight was made official on Friday. It’ll be taking place on the undercard of World Boxing Association World light welterweight champion Ricky Burns’ first title defense against #1 WBA Kiryl Relikh.
Whyte, who still hasn’t fully regained the strength in his surgically repaired left shoulder from what I can see, will be scrapping with Lewison for the vacant British title. It’ll be sad if this is as far as Whyte goes in his career.
Ian ‘Lay Em Out’ Lewison conquers Dallas
By Jack Tarpey @jackboxing24: After a promising start to his career Ian Lewison fell short at the heavyweight prize fighter tournament last February dropping a controversial decision to the American Derric Rossy after scoring a 1st round knockout against the hardened Timo Hoffman, many pundits then wrote Ian off labeling him as yet another British journeyman.
