Mike Tyson, Donald Trump and boxing's greatest shock 30 years on
"I'm not going to Tyson's dressing room. I can't go near him. It might rub off. The same thing could happen to me."
Those were the reported words of Donald Trump moments after his friend and client Mike Tyson had been beaten by James 'Buster' Douglas in boxing's greatest shock.
It was a day shaped by turmoil. It was a day where desperate corner men made icepacks out of rubber gloves, or condoms, depending on who you believe. It was a day where millions of dollars disappeared for those with skin in the game.
Decades later, The Killers wrote a song about the chaos."When I saw him go down, it felt like somebody lied," the lyrics read.
Thirty years have passed since the unthinkable occurred. Nobody lied, it really did happen.
