In the late 1970s, boxing legend James Earl Jones Douglas had reached his pinnacle of success as a professional fighter. With four losses already on his record and a staggering 42-1 odds against him in this bout, many thought he was done for life. Yet, Douglas refused to give up.
Tyson was Godzilla, the behemoth of American pop culture. Buster wasn't expected to be anything more than a moth for Tyson's swat. However, Douglas had other plans. With a smirk on his face and a twinkle in his eye, he cracked a joke that would send shockwaves through the boxing world: "Oh, about a minute."
In reality, it was only 30 seconds before Douglas had submitted Tyson via TKO. The result was a stunning upset, with many pundits predicting Douglas to be finished within minutes. Yet, this unorthodox victory proved that sometimes, underdogs can surprise even the greatest of opponents. As a testament to Douglas's tenacity and determination, this framed photograph has become highly sought after by boxing collectors and historians alike.
