Lennox Lewis labelled Hasim Rahman a "one-punch wonder" as the Briton's trainer, Emanuel Steward, said he was having problems controlling the former world champion before his rematch with Rahman.
Stewart told a news conference today he had never seen two boxers so emotionally charged before a fight. The two scuffled during a US television interview last week after Rahman said Lewis had "acted gay".
Lewis said of Rahman: "He needs to prove himself, he's living in a fantasy world. He doesn't belong in the ring with me".
The pair meet in Las Vegas on November 17th. Rahman knocked out Lewis in the fifth round of their initial meeting last April.
