James "Buster" Douglas (born April 7, 1960) is an American former professional boxer who competed between 1981 and 1999. He reigned as undisputed world heavyweight champion in 1990 after defeating Mike Tyson in what is regarded as one of the greatest upsets in sports history.
A 42 to 1 underdog against Tyson, who was undefeated and considered to be the best boxer in the world, Douglas won the fight by knockout in the 10th round to claim the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles. After eight months as the world heavyweight champion, he was defeated by Evander Holyfield in his only title defense. Douglas retired following the loss, but returned to boxing in 1996. He retired a second and final time in 1999.
