Mike Tyson v Evander Holyfield (Las Vegas, 1996)
Mike Tyson started this epic with a bang, attacking Holyfield at every opportunity, but the underdog bounced back to become the first man since Ali to regain the world heavyweight title twice.
Holyfield’s powerful punches seemed to stun his opponent, and Tyson was eventually knocked down in the sixth round.
An accidental clash of heads shook up Tyson who threw a series of wild punches, before Holyfield took control of the fight causing the referee to call off the fight in favour of Holyfield.
