JEFF POWELL MBE: Not until I was 50 would Lennox Lewis end our century-long wait for a successor to Bob Fitzsimmons in British heavyweight boxing.

Jeff Powell argues that British heavyweight boxing has risen to dominance over the United States following decades of American supremacy. Reflecting on past eras led by American champions like Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali, Powell highlights Britain's modern surge, spearheaded by figures such as Lennox Lewis, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois, which has shifted the division's power base across the Atlantic.
Powell emphasizes upcoming domestic heavyweight clashes, including Daniel Dubois defending his WBO title against Fabio Wardley at the O2 and a December showdown between Fury and Joshua. With rising prospect Moses Itauma also positioned for future contention, Powell points out that top-tier boxing talent in the United States has diminished as athletic prospects increasingly favor American football, basketball, and baseball.
