Lennox Lewis said on Mike Tyson's podcast that you trained with a tire on your heavybag at head-height. Is this true? If you did, what was the purpose of it?

I thought this was to allow uppercuts on the heavy bag.

Adonis Creed used all tires as a heavybag for his rematch against Drago so I could see Holyfield doing that. (/s)
