Lewis likes Horn plan

JOHNNY Lewis, the most respected man in Australian boxing, has given a ringing endorsement to the proposed Jeff Horn-Anthony Mundine fight as negotiations step up for a showdown at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium in November.

Talks have fixed a time frame and a junior-middleweight limit of 70kg.

Lewis, who trained six world champions including Jeff Fenech, Kostya Tszyu and Billy Dib, said he was never in favour of Horn facing Crawford and always saw a match with Mundine as a potential Australian blockbuster.
