To watch Lennox Lewis: The Untold Story is to deepen your appreciation of how important coaches are, especially when a young athlete is at risk of becoming another statistic. It also brings into sharp focus just how intelligent of a fighter Lennox Lewis was, not only in the ring, but in life.
The documentary, narrated by Dr. Dre and created by Chad Verdi of Verdi Productions, also serves as a study in contrasts. Lewis had a difficult childhood in London, he was completely abandoned by his father and de facto abandoned by his mother, who was setting up a new life in Canada.
