*Lewis' bout with Ruddock was a title eliminator and Lewis was then awarded the belt when Riddick Bowe surrendered the title in December by dumping it in a London trash can.

†McCall was disqualified in the fifth round after he started crying and refused to put up a fight.

‡Akinwande was disqualified in the fifth round for excessive clutching and grabbing.
