Lennox Lewis vs. Frank Bruno, billed as "The Battle of Britain" was a professional boxing match contested on 1 October 1993 at National Stadium, Cardiff in Wales.

[4] The fight was the first time that two British-born boxers had fought for the world heavyweight title,[5] although Bruno had questioned how British Lewis really was, as he had won a gold medal for Canada at the 1988 Olympic Games as an amateur.

He acts like he's a Sugar Ray Leonard or a Willie Pep or a Joe Louis",[5] and that "Nobody cares about Lennox Lewis in Britain."

[12] At the start of the seventh round, Bruno hit Lewis with a left jab and continued with a series of short punches.

[12] Lewis then hit Bruno with a looping left hook which staggered him, and continued with a series of head punches.

[11] Lewis said after the fight "Bruno did his homework and kept me from throwing my right hand early... but he must have forgotten I have a terrific left hook.

[12] Confirmed bouts:[13] The undercard featured Joe Calzaghe, who made his first professional appearance in front of barely 300 spectators.

[14] Calzaghe would later become an undefeated world champion in two weight classes,[15][16] and, along with Lewis, a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
