World heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis has strongly hinted that he will continue fighting, adding that he believes he has not yet fulfilled his potential.

The 36-year-old's future has been uncertain since he pummelled Mike Tyson in a one-sided bout in Memphis in June.

But now Lewis his indicated he wants to face new challenges in the ring and will discuss his future with promoter Don King during a trip to Africa.

The Briton, who is visiting Ghana, said: "The world has not seen the best of me yet.

"Maybe one great boxer will come up eventually. But I will be there for him."

Accompanied by his mother Violet and trainer Emmanuel Steward, Lewis is on a 10-day private trip to the West African country.

The WBC and IBF title holder added: "Don King is also in town. We will be talking about the future."

Lewis said he would also "teach some moves" to local boxers in Ghana, where boxing comes a close second to football in the popularity stakes.
