Macklin's Take #94 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Tim May - Tyson vs Douglas

This week me & Matt Macklin take a deep dive into the biggest upset in boxing history, James Buster Douglas’ stunning win against the unbeaten, undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world Iron Mike Tyson. Douglas 42/1 with the bookmakers when he walked to the ring in Tokyo in February 1990 and had been written off by everyone. Well, not quite everyone. Tim May was ringside covering the fight for the Columbus Dispatch, Douglas’ local paper in Ohio, had known Buster for years and was the only person to predict a Douglas win. Tim joined us to turn the clock back 30 years and it was fantastic to talk to him about his memories of the build-up and the fight itself. He still remembers it like it was yesterday.
