Buster Douglas
James "Buster" Douglas (born April 7, 1960) is an American former professional boxer. He is best known for his stunning upset of Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 in Tokyo to win the undisputed world heavyweight title. At the time, Tyson was considered to be the best boxer in the world and one of the most feared heavyweight champions in history due to his utter domination of the division over the previous three years. The only casino to even make odds for the fight (all others declining to do so as they considered the fight such a foregone conclusion), had Douglas as a 42-to-1 underdog for the fight, making his victory, in commentator Jim Lampley's words, "the biggest upset in the history of heavyweight championship fights".
Douglas held the title for eight months and two weeks, losing on October 25, 1990 to Evander Holyfield via third-round knockout, in his only title defense.
== Early life ==
The son of professional boxer William "Dynamite" Douglas, Douglas grew up in Columbus, Ohio, in the predominantly black Linden-area neighborhood of Windsor Terrace. He attended Linden McKinley High School, where he played football and basketball, leading Linden to a Class AAA state basketball championship in 1977. After high school, Douglas played basketball for the Coffeyville Community College Red Ravens in Coffeyville, Kansas, from 1977 to 1978; the seventeen-year-old was a 6 feet 0 inch power forward. He is in the Coffeyville Community College Men's Basketball Hall of Fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ccc.cc.ks.us/athletics/menshoops/halloffame.htm )〕 He also played basketball at Sinclair Community College from 1979 to 1980 in Dayton, Ohio, before attending Mercyhurst University on a basketball scholarship. He moved back to Columbus to focus on boxing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayton-sports/a-changed-buster-douglas-reconnects-with-true-self-1211778.html )〕 For a brief period of time during his early twenties, Douglas was known as the "Desert Fox" within the Columbus boxing community. This moniker was affixed to Douglas because of a misinterpreted encyclopedia entry regarding Douglas MacArthur and Erwin Rommel. Several friends of Buster Douglas mistakenly believed that Douglas MacArthur was known as the "Desert Fox" and subsequently addressed the future heavyweight champion as such. However, Buster Douglas distanced himself from the "Desert Fox" label no later than 1985 because of clarification from his promotional team and the concern that he might be confused with Syrian boxer Ghiath Tayfour.〔(Arabic Eurosport: اغتيال الملاكم السوري غياث طيفور برصاص مسلحين ) (in Arabic) 〕
