The Fight
1. Opening Rounds:
• Douglas came into the fight focused, using his significant height and reach advantage to keep Tyson at bay with a strong jab and effective combinations.

2. Douglas Gains Confidence:
• As the fight progressed, Douglas continued to dominate with his jab and movement, landing clean punches on Tyson.

• Douglas narrowly beat the count, getting up at nine seconds, and finished the round.
4. The Turning Point:
• Douglas recovered remarkably and came out in the ninth round reinvigorated, regaining control of the fight.
• Tyson, who had rarely faced adversity in the ring, began to show signs of fatigue and frustration.
5. The Knockout – Round 10:
• In the tenth round, Douglas unleashed a powerful combination, capped off by a thunderous right uppercut followed by four punches that sent Tyson to the canvas.
• Tyson struggled to find his mouthpiece and rise to his feet but was counted out, marking the first loss of his career.

Aftermath
