Lennox – whose last bout was a win againstVitali Klitschkoin June 2003 – knows fighting current day heavyweight stars wouldn’t be a cakewalk.

“It wouldn’t be easy. I’ll tell you that right now. These guys are bigger, stronger, but as far as boxing talent, they’re still learning. Even for me, when I retired, I was still learning. You never stop learning as a champion. “
