Yes it was Tyson Vs. Douglas. the fight was 42-1 odds there have never been odds that big for a heavyweight title fight before or since.

What an unbeleviable KO too on Douglas' part.

Commentator on the Knockout: "This makes Cinderella sound like a sad, sad story."

Gotta Go With Tyson Vs. Douglas. Still Shocks Me When I Watch It Today

[bchynn]

Yep, Tyson-Douglas fight. This thread should be redirected into asking what the second biggest upset in boxing history is. I cannot see an upset bigger than that mentioned.

What do you think was the biggest upset in Boxing History?

I think James Douglas vs Mike Tyson, 1990 in Tokyo

....Tyson/Douglas for sure. I remember that fight like it was yesterday. I happened to be over my parents house watching it with my little brother and a few of my friends. My Dad didn't even stay up to watch it and went to bed because he thought Tyson would have another easy night. I went and woke him up in the second round and told him he was about to miss something special. He thought I was full of **** but he ended up coming to watch the fight while shaking his head the whole time. And the rest is history.
