James "Buster" Douglas Signed Pair of Everlast Boxing Gloves Inscribed "TYSON KO 2-11-90", Certified by Schwartz

James “Buster” Douglas etched his name into boxing history on February 11, 1990, when he produced one of the greatest upsets ever witnessed in the sport by defeating the seemingly unbeatable Mike Tyson.

Entering the Tokyo Dome as a massive 42-to-1 underdog, Douglas shocked the boxing world by controlling much of the fight with his jab, movement, and precise combinations. Tyson was the undisputed heavyweight champion and had entered the bout undefeated in 37 professional fights.

Douglas survived a dramatic eighth round, when Tyson dropped him with a powerful uppercut, before regaining control of the fight.

In the tenth round, Douglas delivered the decisive combination that sent Tyson to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Tyson was unable to beat the referee’s count, and Douglas became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

These Everlast boxing gloves are signed by James “Buster” Douglas and inscribed “TYSON KO 2-11-90,” directly referencing the historic night at the Tokyo Dome and the knockout that shocked the sporting world.

The inscription makes the piece particularly compelling for collectors because it identifies the exact opponent and date of Douglas’ defining career achievement.

Certified by Schwartz, this signed pair of Everlast boxing gloves represents an exceptional piece of heavyweight boxing memorabilia, commemorating the moment a 42-to-1 underdog defeated one of the most dominant champions in boxing history.

For collectors, the gloves capture more than Douglas’ signature: they preserve a direct reference to one of the most iconic upsets in the history of professional sport.
