Buster Douglas Shocks 'Iron Mike' And The World 32 Years Ago

It was 32 years ago today when one of the biggest upsets in spots history.

James 'Buster' Douglas met undefeated and undisputed Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson in Japan on February 11, 1990 and left the entire sports world in shock when all was said and done.

Douglas, who entered the fight as a 42-to-1 underdog, registered a 10th round knockout against Tyson who, at the time, was considered the number-1 fighter in the world pound for pound, a consideration heavyweights were not often given.

Douglas was the 7th ranked heavyweight at the time of the fight.
