James Buster Douglas Signed 16x12 Photo - Premium Framing + £45.00

Product Description

No one gave James " Buster" Douglas much of a chance when he faced " Iron" Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990, in the Tokyo Dome. Tyson was Godzilla, & Buster wasn’t expected to be anything more than a moth for Tyson to swat away. Douglas had four losses already & 42-1 odds against him in this bout. One reporter, going through Japanese customs, announced he was in town for business. When asked how long he would be working, he laughed & responded " Oh, about a minute." The match lasted longer than that, though. When it was over, it was the greatest upset in boxing history. Buster Douglas was the new heavyweight champion of a shocked, surprised, & stunned world. He was the biggest of underdogs, dealing with the recent death of his mother, but dethroned the invincible Tyson. Mike Tyson’s loss to Buster Douglas truly rocked the world & threw heavyweight boxing into a tumult that still resonates today.
