Lewis files suit against Klitschko

Heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis sued Vitali Klitschko and the WBC, contending they brokered a deal to force him to defend the title against the Ukrainian boxer.

Lewis filed the suit Tuesday in Los Angeles' Superior Court and requested an injunction. The suit comes after Lewis called off the April 12 fight with Klitschko, who filed a suit against the WBC that was later dropped.
