JAMES "BUSTER" DOUGLAS
The World Heavyweight champ poses with his belts.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "John/Buster Douglas/Love [smiling face]
Peace". Color, 8½x11 overall, image 8x9½ (one surface). Name imprinted at
lower margin. James "Buster" Douglas (born in 1960) knocked out Mike Tyson
for the World Heavyweight title in the tenth round of their February 11, 1990
match up in Tokyo, Japan. At that time, Tyson was considered the best
fighter in boxing and odds-makers had him as a 42-1 favorite to beat Douglas,
who was the first to floor the champ. The shocking result was headlined
"Rocky Lives!" on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" magazine. Douglas' reign as
Undisputed World Heavyweight champ (WBA, WBC, IBF) was short-lived,
however; on October 25, 1990, he was knocked out in the third round by Evander
Holyfield. Douglas had fought in only one other championship bout, losing
to Tony Tucker for the vacant IBF Championship in 1987. His last fight was
against Andre Crowder on February 19, 1999, when Douglas won by a TKO. Slightly
creased at upper margin. Minor surface smudges (not evident head on). Fine
condition.
