1990 Tyson's
fight with James "Buster" Douglas |
Mike Tyson went
to Japan to meet up with a tune up fight against James 'Buster' Douglas.
Most felt this was an easy match, and a safe match before Tyson's
$60 million showdown with Evander Holyfield which was to take
place on Feb. 1990. But according to news sources, Tyson
looked sad and weary. Tyson was not in the best of shape and
was KO'd in the tenth round. |
