Former world and Olympic heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has slammed a proposal to allow professional boxers to compete at the Olympics, saying it could be dangerous for young amateur boxers.
Lewis won gold for Canada at the 1988 Games in Seoul before turning professional and switching to represent Britain as unified heavyweight world champion.
He retired with the title in 2003, with a record of 41-2-1.
