Lewis-Rahman II set for Nov. 17 at Mandalay Bay
Friday, Aug. 17, 2001 | 10:21 a.m.
The highly anticipated rematch between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman, the World Boxing Council and International Boxing Federation champion, will take place Nov. 17 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
"Obviously, we're very excited about Lewis coming back here," Mandalay Bay vice president of marketing Scott Voeller said Thursday. "He's here to take his belt back and Rahman feels he's not going to give it up.
"It's going to be a spectacular fight."
Rahman upset Lewis with a fifth-round knockout earlier this year at the Carnival City Casino in South Africa.
Tickets for the fight are expected to be $300, $600, $900 and $1,200.
"We haven't finalized everything yet, but we anticipate tickets going on sale next week," Voeller said.
