About Buster Douglas
James "Buster" Douglas is an American former professional boxer who competed between 1981 and 1999. He reigned as undisputed world heavyweight champion in 1990 after defeating Mike Tyson in what is regarded as one of the greatest upsets in sports history. A 42 to 1 underdog against Tyson, who was undefeated and considered to be the best boxer in the world, Douglas won the fight by knockout in the 10th round to claim the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles. Douglas won his first five fights before coming into a fight with David Bey weighing 20 pounds heavier than he usually had for his previous bouts. Bey handed Douglas his first defeat by knocking him out in the second round. After six more fights, all of which he won, Douglas fought Steffen Tangstad to a draw on October 16, 1982.
