Fans in awe as footage captures sound of Lennox Lewis’ punches when he brutally KO’d Hasim Rahman

Lennox Lewis packed a serious punch and one man who felt the full effect was Hasim Rahman.

The pair first clashed in 2001, when Rahman pulled off one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history by knocking out Lewis in the fifth round.

Later that year, Lewis had a chance at redemption when the pair came up against each other in Las Vegas.

This was Lewis’s opportunity to win back his unified WBC and WBO world titles and he grabbed it with both hands.

Four rounds into the fight Lewis landed a stunning one-two that saw Rahman collapse to the canvas.

He attempted to make it back to his feet, but fell once again, and the referee had seen enough, so waved the bout off.

Footage of the knockout blow was recently shared on Twitter, giving younger fans a steer on how good the former undisputed heavyweight was. One thing stood out – the thudding sound of Lewis’ crushing punches.

One fan commented: “My favourite KO. Had to have a pic of it added to my signed photo of Lennox.”

Another added: “When Lennox connected with that one two it was lights out.”

While a third said: “Lennox Lewis was such a beast.”
