LEGENDARY JOE LEWIS PASSES
Martial arts & karate legend Joe Lewis passed away yesterday after his extended bout with brain cancer. Lewis was known for his dominance in tournament karate back in its heyday and for his full-contact kickboxing career.

Joe Lewis was also famous for his association with the late, great Bruce Lee.
He will be sorely missed…
