The Day Tyson Lost Power

In 1990, the boxing world was abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and James “Buster“ Douglas. At the time, Mike Tyson was considered an unbeatable champion, reigning supreme in the heavyweight division. Known for his ferocious fighting style and lightning-fast knockouts, Tyson had become the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, easily dispatching all his opponents. On the other side was James “Buster“ Douglas, a relatively unknown fighter deemed a significant underdog. His career had been inconsistent, and many doubted his ability to stand up to Tyson. However, Douglas had a deeply personal motivation – his mother had recently passed away, fueling his determination and resolve. Tyson, confident in his invincibility, did not take Douglas seriously and neglected his training and preparation. #boxing #miketyson
