The Real Reason Mike Tyson Lost His First Ever Bout to Buster Douglas – Bobby Brown.

 Mike Tyson versus Buster Douglas was a boxing match that occurred at the Tokyo Dome on February 11, 1990. The then-undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion lost by knockout to the underdog Douglas. Thirty-two years after the shock defeat, one of Tyson’s close friends has finally shared the real reason why Iron Mike lost that night. 

Singer Bobby Brown has disclosed that, Mike Tyson lost his first ever bout against Buster Douglas because of a straight two-day party with 24 women before the fight. 

Going into the fight, Tyson was the undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, holding the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles. Most people thought that the fight would be a warm-up bout for Tyson before meeting up with then-undefeated number 1 heavyweight contender Evander Holyfield. They were easily the Most Successful athletes of the 21st Century. However, Douglas won with a 10th round knockout and ‘Iron Mike’ had to wait up to six years to regain the WBC heavyweight title in a fight against Frank Bruno. 

Tyson’s loss to Douglas came as a surprise, but his friend Bobby Brown has finally explained why the former boxer lost the heavyweight championship belt. “We used to do crazy sh*t,” Brown said in an interview. “Me and Mike Tyson are friends to this day, but there was a time when we partied in Japan right before his fight with Buster Douglas,” he said. “We partied like really, really, really hard. There must have been two dozen girls in the room with me and Mike. “We partied and I was trying to tell him to get some sleep. “Eventually he got some sleep [in the ring]. Do not put that part in there please, he is going to kill me!” Bobby jokingly warned his interviewer. 

At the end of the duel, Douglas earned $1.3 million from the fight while Tyson pocketed $6 million. The referee counts out Tyson as he lays on the floor after being stunned in the 10th round.
