I just posted this info somewhere else. But I think it's important enough to warrent a thread of its own.
The boxing history books are wrong!
Mike Tyson didn't lose his undisputed world HW crown when he got beat by Buster Douglas in Feb 1990.
Tyson's reign as undisputed HW champ actually ended on May 6th 1989, when Francesco Damiani beat Johnny Du Plooy to become the first WBO HW champion of the world!
(According to Steve Farhood, Showtime boxing analyst.)
