Lennox Lewis vs. Phil Jackson was a professional boxing match contested on May 6, 1994 for the WBC Heavyweight Championship.
First, Lewis took on WBC's number one ranked heavyweight Tony Tucker and defeated him by a lopsided unanimous decision.
Following his victory over Bruno, there were talks about a possible unification match with the WBA and IBF Heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, who had defeated Riddick Bowe in a rematch to reclaim the titles, but Holyfield was unsure if he would continue boxing and chose to forgo the match.
[2] As a result, Lewis' next opponent became little-known Phil Jackson, who sported an impressive 30–1, but had faced mostly journeymen throughout his professional career and had been dominated by heavyweight contender Donovan "Razor" Ruddock before being knocked out by Ruddock in the fourth round of their 1992 match.
Immediately after the knockdown, referee Arthur Mercante, Sr. stopped the fight and Lewis was named the winner by technical knockout.
