<-----hairy muff! Lewis faced [[Ray Mercer]] on May 10, 1996 in what would turn out to be a controversial win for Lewis. Mercer, who won gold in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul as a heavyweight, lost a majority decision to Lewis in this bout.

On [[March 28]] [[1998]], Lewis retained the WBC world title when he knocked out [[Shannon Briggs]] in five rounds. He had also retained the title this time against former WBO world champion [[Henry Akinwande]], who was disqualified after five rounds for constantly clinching Lewis. He then went up against [[Andrew Golota]], whom he knocked out in the first, and against [[Zeljko Mavrovic|Željko Mavrović]], beaten by a twelve round unanimous decision.
