35 years ago, James "Buster" Douglas defeated Mike Tyson via KO in Round 10 of 12 to win the IBF, WBA, and WBC Heavyweight Titles.

One of the biggest and most iconic upsets in the history of the sport and the first defeat in Tyson's professional career.

Oh man, the Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson fight in 1990 is still talked about as one of the biggest upsets in sports history, even 35 years later! I can only imagine what it must have been like to be in the crowd that night at the Tokyo Dome to witness it all go down.

Tyson was on top of the world back then, the undisputed heavyweight champion with a record of 37-0 and 33 KOs. Nobody thought he was going to have any trouble against this underdog challenger, Buster Douglas. The bookies had Tyson as a massive 42-1 favorite! It was basically seen as a tune-up fight for Tyson before his big showdown with Evander Holyfield.

I can imagine fans jumping up and down, high-fiving strangers, just in complete shock over what they had just witnessed. Buster Douglas, the massive underdog, had just dethroned the unbeatable Mike Tyson! That's the kind of moment that gets etched into sports history forever. Even 35 years later, it's still regarded as one of the craziest, most memorable fights of all time. I wish I could have been there to see the look on everyone's faces when Tyson hit the canvas. What an unbelievable night that must have been!

Additional question: For those who saw the fight live when it happened, what was your reaction in 1990 when Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson in Japan? And do you remember where you were when Buster Douglas upset Mike Tyson in 1990?
