Lewis Benson (born 2 December 1991) is a Scottish former professional boxer who competed from 2015 to 2019.
As an amateur, Benson won four consecutive Scottish national titles from 2012 to 2015. He competed at the 2013 World Championships and the 2014 Commonwealth Games, both at welterweight, and won gold at the 2012 Great Britain Championships as a light welterweight. Benson subsequently made his professional debut in September 2015, winning ten straight fights before dropping two in a row via points decision in 2018. Increasingly disillusioned with boxing, he retired from the sport the following year after the British Boxing Board of Control pulled him from The Golden Contract tournament.
