James Buster Douglas Bibliography;
James "Buster" Douglas was born April 7, 1960 and is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1981 to 1999. He is best known for his stunning upset of Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 in Tokyo to win the undisputed heavyweight title. At the time Tyson was undefeated and considered to be the best boxer in the world, as well as one of the most feared heavyweight champions in history due to his utter domination of the division over the previous three years.
The only casino to make odds for the fight (all others declining to do so as they considered the fight such a foregone conclusion) had him as a 42-to-1 underdog for the fight, making his victory, in one commentator's words, "The biggest upset in the history of heavyweight championship fights." He held the title for eight months and two weeks, losing on October 25, 1990 to Evander Holyfield via third-round knockout, in his only title defense.
He retired after the fight although he did make several comebacks, he never scaled such heights again, although his pay check for his fight with Holyfield probably soften the blow.
