Buster did a lot of adverts when he won included WWF referee.

He weighed 300lb when he started camp for Holyfield and was just too big. He wanted to cancel the fight to give him more time to train but decided against it as there were too many people dependent on the fight going ahead.

Buster nearly died from over eating, had a heart attack and went into a diabetic coma.

Buster started exercising just to stay alive and get healthy. During his comeback he was offered a rematch with Tyson where he would get $1 million and Tyson $10 million which he turned down as an insult.

Douglas was soon knocked out in round 1 by Lou Savarese.

The author Joe Layden wrote the whole book with an hour telephone conversation with Tyson but it is very well written.
