LEWISON OFFERS SEXTON £50,000 WINNER TAKES ALL

[oliviagoodwin]

Brixton Heavyweight Ian “Layemout” Lewison was left seething at the weekend after reading Sam Sexton announcing on twitter that fighting Lewison was beneath him (as Ian was too lowly rated) and he was not interested.

This is despite the Lewison v Sexton match being mandated for the Southern Area title (going out to purse bids) and Lewison’s promoter Steve Goodwin asking the board to sanction this as an eliminator for the English/British title.


A seething Lewison said. Samantha has cited two reasons for avoiding me 1) I am not good enough to fight him and 2) I am looking for a payday

Let me dispense this nonsense:

1) I am rated 84 in the world. Sextons three bums he has fought this year have won a combined total of 22 bouts out of over 100 they have previously fought in.

2) If Sexton comes to London for the fight I am prepared to beat him for free so he can get one final payday.

3) If he wants my promoter and his promoter can lodge £25,000 each as a purse with winner taking all.

Lewison’s promoter Steve Goodwin said “It is very difficult with Ian. I have been trying to get him a meaningful fight. Richard Towers says he will fight Ian for the right money but he has Lucas Browne first. I have spoken to Martin Rogan but am awaiting a response but this from Sam Sexton is laughable. I am quite happy to lodge £25,000 if Sexton’s promoter wants to do the same. Lets cut the rubbish out Sam Sexton is afraid to fight Ian as he knows he has a major risk of losing. Its not about rankings or money. We are happy to do it in Norwich or London. Lets get it on.”

Lewison finished off with “Sam Sexton is an embarrassment to heavyweight boxing. He wants to keep fooling the public by fighting these journeyman. I am not interested in journeymen. I want credible fights. I will even let Sexton come to the ring in his dress and frilly panties if he wants

Big talk from a man with a loss to Colin Kenna on his resume.

[rm1]

I would have thought lewison needs a warm up fight or two prior to mixing it for titles just to sharpen him up and show he has sorted out his fitness issues. he neeeds to get fit and get fighting soon for sure if he is to achiveve any of his potential.

[The Insider]

I'm more than happy to spend...err I mean hang on to the 50k for you lads.

Is winner takes all allowed by the board? It never happens, so it seems like empty rhetoric.

I'd like to see this fight though.

I believe it will have to be a side bet aside to the actual Purses. Not sure where the board stand on winner take all.

They wont stand for it at all

[Dirk Kelly]

Why didn't last weekends rematch with Kenna take place?

I'd like to see lewison and some other british heavyweights fighting at all so many are just too inactive for their own and boxings good.

Who is Sexton promoted by these days? I don't think he's with FW anymore.

Anyway, doubt £50k for these two is going to materialise any time in the near future.

Why not? Remeber the Goodwins dug deep to get Fraudly over for Ali Adams so they must be prepared to back there man... Rather than be cynical towards them we should be giving them our backing

[TheCobra]

Yeh fair play to the Goodwin's for backing their man, I thought the Ali Adams one was always gona end in tears though, couldn't see him beating Fraudley, sometimes their faith seems to be a little delusional!

It's a press release, designed to stir up some interest in a possible match up. Winner takes all doesn't happen in Britain.

I stand by my comment, there's no way a fight between these two gets a 50k purse, it's nothing to do with being cynical.

I'd love to see that fight none the less, and I hope it can be made, Southern Area title perhaps.

Southern Area/final eliminator for the English title.

Would be good. I think the SA is vacant. Winner gets McD.

He's with Mervyn Turner.

what happened to the kenna rematch

i think both lewison and sexton arent being used properly

[keithmoonhangover]

Fair play to Ian for saying that, but I think Sexton would give him a boxing lesson.

[matko]

I think Ian has a bit of fire in his belly and is looking good he deserved to win against Rossy

[HomicideHenry]

This guy is a complete shit talker. We had him on our radio show once and he called everyone in England a bum and shit like that, and I laughed my ass off cus he had lost to Colin Kenna.

[Deano s]

Lewison rates himself way too highly he has a loss to Kenna and a draw with a Latvian lemming on his record he did OK in prizefighter but to put 25 grand in a pot backing him to beat sexton is a silly move.

It was not delusional. If you actually read all the reviews we promised Ali the opportunity. At no time did we ever say he would win. The fight was staged for two reasons 1) My father promised Ali 2) For commercial reasons

Trust me we are anything but delusional

what happened to the kenna rematch

What are you talking about not being used properly.

We built Ian with a win against Dorian Darch then he was robbed in the semi final and subsequently he has had injuries preventing him from fighting.

We dont use any boxers. We try to help their careers.

He was not robbed he run out of gas as he was not fit enough!

[rm1]

lewison has an ear injury as i hear OK but hwen he is fit he needs to be fighting regularly -he's 31 for christs sake he needs to get moving and he needs the experience.
