A boxing champion was stopped by the doctor while leading on points

The boxer Vitali Klitschko faced Lennox Lewis in June 2003 with only eleven days of preparation to replace him at short notice. Despite Lewis's status as a heavy favorite, the Ukrainian pushed him and was leading four rounds to two on the judges' scorecards at the end of the sixth round. The ringside doctor decided to stop the match before the seventh round due to a significant cut on his eye, offering a controversial victory to the British champion.
