Evander Holyfield vs. Riddick Bowe
On October 25, 1990, world #1 contender Holyfield fought Buster Douglas in the first defense of the title Douglas won eight months earlier by upsetting Mike Tyson in Tokyo. Holyfield defeated an out-of-shape Douglas by knocking him out in the third round, and had made three defenses of his three titles entering this fight. The first wa a unanimous decision Holyfield signed to figrnefiying to knock out the lightly regarded contender in a fight, the WBC refused to sanction as a title fight. The Tyson fight was then scuttled altogether; after Tyson was convicted of rape and incarcerated in early 1992
With Holyfield in need of an opponent, undefeated Riddick Bowe emerged as the frontrunner to land the next shot at Holyfield's undisputed championship.
