Default It's finally complete!!
I had the honor of meeting former Heavyweight Champion James "Buster" Douglas tonight about an hour or so away from my home in Columbus, Ohio.

I got Tyson to sign this through a private signing and tonight, I had Buster sign it when I met him. His manager John Johnson was also there and they had a fun time thumbing through the program, bringing back memories of one of sports biggest upsets that just celebrated it's 23rd anniversary last week!

The program in itself is rare because the fight happened in Tokyo, Japan. With Buster being such a huge underdog, not many Americans made the trip, certainly boxing fans thought it would be a wasted trip. Buster told me this evening the only Americans present were pretty much military. I am more than thrilled to have this completed and a centerpiece in my collection!

Thanks guys! Yep, Buster was phenomenal... Manager John Johnson stopped while going through the program and pointed to a "backdrop" picture of Buster training and pointed to the punching bag.. "I wrote that!! I wrote KICK TYSON'S ASS on the heavy bag!"
