Lennox Lewis vs. Oliver McCall, billed "Whose Moment of Glory", was a professional boxing match contested on September 24, 1994 for the WBC Heavyweight Championship. ==Background== After three successful, but less-than-impressive defenses of his WBC title, Lennox Lewis' next opponent became Oliver McCall. Coming into his fight with Lewis, McCall sported an unimpressive 24–5 record with a majority of his wins being against unknown journeymen while his five losses had come against heavyweight contenders including Orlin Norris, James "Buster" Douglas and Tony Tucker. However, after joining promoter Don King's stable and embarking on a modest five fight win streak, McCall was named the WBC's number one contender and thus became the mandatory challenger for Lewis' title.〔(Lewis's Autumn Challenger: McCall ), N.Y. Times article, 1994-05-17, Retrieved on 2013-06-02〕 Lewis paid little attention to McCall, and prior to the fight, entered into negotiations with both the WBA and IBF Michael Moorer and Olympic rival Riddick Bowe to determine who he would face after his planned defeat of McCall. On June 17, it was announced that both Lewis and Bowe's managers had come to an agreement for the long-awaited Lewis–Bowe championship fight. The two fighters were scheduled to split a then-record $31 million purse, but Lewis would still have to get past McCall for the bout to happen.〔(Bowe and Lewis Fight Is On ), N.Y.
