Evander Holyfield vs. Bert Cooper

Evander Holyfield vs. Bert Cooper, billed as "The Homecoming", was a professional boxing match contested on November 23, 1991 for the WBA, IBF and ''Lineal'' Heavyweight Championships.
==Background==
Holyfield was coming off a successful defense of his Undisputed Heavyweight Championship after defeating 42-year-old former Heavyweight champion George Foreman. Meanwhile, Mike Tyson had twice defeated Donvan "Razor" Ruddock to become the number one contender to Holyfield's titles. However, the two sides had trouble working out a deal and both men's camps began to look into having their respective fighter instead face Foreman. In July of 1991, it was reported that a Holyfield–Foreman rematch was agreed upon, but only a day later it was announced that Holyfield and Tyson's promoters, Dan Duva and Don King had agreed to a blockbuster deal that would see Holyfield and Tyson meet on November 8, 1991 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.〔(Tyson to Fight Champ Holyfield, Won't Face Foreman ), Philadelphia Inquirer article, 1991-07-11, Retrieved on 2013-05-12〕 In addition, Holyfield and Tyson were expected to split a then-record $45 million purse with the champion Holyfield reportedly to earn $30 million, while the challenger Tyson would net $15 million.〔(Let's Get Ready To Rumble! ), Sports Illustrated article, 1991-07-22, Retrieved on 2013-05-12〕 Unfortunately, a rib injury that Tyson had suffered, as well as his arrest and conviction for the alleged rape of Desiree Washington shortly after led to the fight being postponed and eventually cancelled. With Holyfield in need of an opponent, a match between Holyfield and former WBO Heavyweight champion Francesco Damiani was announced, with the bout to take place on November 23 in Holyfield's native Atlanta.〔(Holyfield-Damiani Bout Official ), Philadelphia Daily News article, 1991-10-25, Retrieved on 2013-05-12〕 Only days before the Holyfield–Damiani fight was to take place, it was announced that Damiani would be force to pull out of the match due to a foot injury he received while training. It was then announced that journeyman Bert Cooper would be Damiani's replacement to challenge Holyfield.〔(Cooper Next for Holyfield : Boxing: Damiani pulls out of Saturday's heavyweight fight because of a foot injury. ), L.A. Times article, 1991-11-18, Retrieved on 2013-05-12〕 As Cooper was unranked by the WBC, the organization refused to sanction the match, thus Holyfield's WBC title was not on the line.
