World heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman has revealed that his re-match with Lennox Lewis will take place in Las Vegas on November 17th.

The 28-year-old American, who stunned the Briton with a fifth-round knock-out in South Africa in April, will put his WBC and IBF titles on the line - but does not expect to come away without his belts.

"On November 17 in Las Vegas, Lennox Lewis and myself will be getting it on for the second time," Rahman told BBC Radio Five Live Sportsweek.

"I think that he'll be there and we'll give the fans their money's worth. As far as I know, the fight is a go for November 17th.

"I believe I will be walking out of there champion. I just believe I have the tools to give Lennox Lewis major problems.

"I don't have any bitter feelings towards Lennox, but he's got another thing coming if he thinks he's coming to take the titles off me."
