#OTD Riddick Bowe vs Larry Donald | Full Fight | Caesars Palace | HBO | 3/12/1994
Riddick Bowe vs. Larry Donald was a professional boxing match contested on December 3, 1994.
Just over a year prior, Riddick Bowe had defended his WBA and IBF titles in a highly anticipated rematch with Evander Holyfield, the man he had defeated to capture the titles.
In a closely contested match, Holyfield would win by majority decision, becoming the new heavyweight champion and handing Bowe his first (and would what turn out to be his only) loss as a professional. After nine months of inactivity, Bowe made his return on August 13, 1994, to face fringe contender Buster Mathis, Jr. in his first comeback fight. Bowe was clearly ahead on the scorecards when Mathis took a knee to recover after being overwhelmed by a barrage of heavy punches from Bowe. However, while Bowe quickly landed a right hand that knocked Mathis out. As the punch was illegal and Mathis could not continue, Bowe faced the possibility of being charged with a disqualification loss, but both referee Arthur Mercante Sr. and the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board decided to rule the bout a no-contest.
Having narrowly escaped a second consecutive loss, Bowe agreed to face undefeated prospect Larry Donald in his next fight. Donald was only in his second year as a pro, but had won all 16 of his fights, including victories over fellow undefeated prospect Jeremy Williams and former heavyweight title challenger Bert Cooper. Donald was also ranked by all three major boxing organizations, with the WBC ranking him highest of all at number 5. In contrast, Bowe was only ranked by two of the three organizations (#5 by the IBF and #8 by the WBA) and despite being only two years removed from capturing their heavyweight championship, was completely unranked by the WBC.
At a press conference in Los Angeles only five days before the fight was to take place, Bowe and Donald exchanged words when Bowe suddenly hit Donald with a left-right combination before the two were separated. Donald did not retaliate, but was critical of Bowe for the act, calling him “unprofessional”, “afraid” and stated “When you try so hard to intimidate someone, it means that you’re the one who’s intimidated.” Bowe offered no apology to Donald and simply explained that he “had heard that he was talking trash, and I told him, ‘if you say one more thing, I’m going to hit you’. He opened his mouth again, so I popped him.”

🤬Mike Tyson PUNCHES REF in CRAZY FIGHT‼️ | vs. Lou Savarese | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | Boxing
Mike Tyson 47–3 (1) (41 KO) vs. Lou Savarese 39–3 (32 KO), billed as Tyson’s Back, was a professional boxing match contested on June 24, 2000.
Mike Tyson embarked on a comeback in 1999, marking his return to the ring after a nine-month hiatus, primarily due to a four-month prison sentence.
His comeback journey began with a victory on January 16, 1999, when he knocked out former world title challenger Francois Botha in the fifth round. Following this, Tyson faced former WBA Cruiserweight champion Orlin Norris, but their bout ended in a no-contest due to an accidental punch that landed after the bell.
Three months later, Tyson had his first-ever fight in the United Kingdom, defeating British journeyman Julius Francis by a second-round knockout. In February 2000, Tyson announced his next opponent, fringe contender Lou Savarese. Initially slated for Milan in May, the bout was postponed after Tyson reportedly needed more time to train.
The fight was then moved to Hampden Park in Glasgow, and rescheduled for 24 June. The decision to allow Tyson back into the United Kingdom sparked protests due to his prior rape conviction, but Glasgow City Council ultimately voted 10–1 in favor of permitting the match to proceed.

Nigel Benn 27–1 (25 KO) vs. Chris Eubank 24–0 (14 KO), billed as Who’s Fooling Who?, was a professional boxing match contested on 18 November 1990, for the WBO middleweight championship.
Both Benn and Eubank fought at middleweight and super middleweight around the same time in 1985–97, and became rivals on both the domestic and world boxing scene. Benn won his first 22 consecutive bouts by knockout, earning the moniker ‘the Dark Destroyer’. Eubank was the cocky, flamboyant upstart who began calling out Benn after his tenth bout. The rivalry grew, with both men swearing that they would knock the other man out.
Benn, having lost to Michael Watson, began to rebuild in America, winning the WBO middleweight title by knocking out Doug DeWitt. He then savaged Iran Barkley within one round in his first defence. Benn then agreed to meet Eubank with his title on the line, which set up the first fight. A rematch was held three years later.
Once Benn had agreed to the first fight with Eubank, his entourage began plotting ways to demoralise Eubank and ‘even things up’. They decided to sabotage his entrance music. As Eubank made his ring walk to the sound of Tina Turner’s ‘Simply the Best’, the record suddenly stopped. Eubank ignored this, and made his way to the ring apron and vaulted to the rope as per usual.
