Boxing returns to the famous venue on Monday for the first time since that unforgettable encounter when Japan's undisputed super-bantamweight world champion Naoya “Monster” Inoue puts his belts on the line against Mexican Luis Nery.

Japan's super-bantamweight world champion Naoya Inoue and Mexico's Luis Nery pose for a photo during a press conference in Tokyo on March 6, 2024. Japan's undisputed super-bantamweight world champion Naoya Inoue on March 6 promised a"white-hot fight" as he announced a title defence against Mexico's Luis Nery at the Tokyo Dome on May 6.

"Tyson's status at that time was of being this godlike, completely unbeatable heavyweight," James Sterngold, who reported on the fight for the New York Times, told AFP. Tyson's autobiography said he had been too busy partying to prepare properly for Douglas, who had an unspectacular win-loss-draw record of 29-4-1 .

But Douglas began to control the fight, and although he was knocked down in the eighth, he got up and sent Tyson sprawling to the canvas two rounds later.
