In 1990, In this corner: the undefeated, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, “Iron” Mike Tyson. In this corner: the 50-1 shot James “Buster” Douglas. Simply put, no boxer in the history of the heavyweight division had ever fought for the title carrying those kinds of odds and walked away with a victory. Maybe Tyson thought his opponent would climb into the ring in Tokyo stiff-legged and paralyzed with fear. So many of them had. The 23-year-old champ had a harrowing habit of knocking out other fighters before the opening bell could stop ringing. But Douglas was more legitimate than anyone suspected. He had fought well for the IBF title in 1987, before losing on a 10th-round KO to Tony Tucker. He was big (231 pounds), he could jab and, if he was afraid of Tyson, he didnʹt let it show. Tyson was undertrained for the fight and appeared out of his depth when Douglas did not succumb quickly. Still, in the eighth, he took control, knocking Douglas to the canvas as the round ended. Saved by the bell, Douglas took the offensive in the ninth, closing Tysonʹs left eye. In the tenth, it was all Douglas; 1:23 into the round a four-punch combination sent Tysonʹs mouthpiece flying one way and Tyson another. Referee Octavio Sanchez counted him out — and boxing had its most surprising heavyweight champion ever.
