Lewis' opponent in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden was the first Englishman in the past decade deemed worthy of a chance to win such an important title, a tubby-looking, determined young Lancashireman named Jock McAvoy, billed as middleweight and light-heavyweight champion of the British Empire...
