If I don't feel the same hunger as I once did then I definitely shouldn't box any more.

Lewis stated when he had decided not to fight:

"So when it came time for me to see if I should fight Klitschko again I thought – at my worst at my worst! I beat Klitschko and look what I did to his face! I was at my worst – just think [what would’ve happened] if I’d trained just a little bit harder. I didn’t need to fight him again. Defeated Chris Odera (Kenya) TKO 2
Defeated Ulli Kaden (East Germany) TKO 1
Defeated Janusz Zarenkiewicz (Poland) forfeit
Defeated Riddick Bowe (United States) TKO 2.
