Mike Tyson vs. Buster Mathis, Jr., billed as "Presumption of Innocence", was a professional boxing match contested on December 16, 1995. ==Background== Mike Tyson had returned to boxing after a three-year prison stint with an 89-second victory over Peter McNeeley. After his victory, Tyson's rank as the number one ranked heavyweight was restored by the three major boxing organizations (the WBA, WBC and International Boxing Federation). Before he would fight for one of the three World Heavyweight titles, he would first partake in second comeback fight. Only days after his victory over McNeeley, it was announced that he would face the undefeated but virtually unknown Buster Mathis, Jr. on November 4, 1995 at the MGM Grand Arena.〔(Mathis Is Next for Tyson ), N.Y. Times article, 1995-08-23, Retrieved on 2013-05-10〕 The bout was originally scheduled to go up against the highly anticipated rubber match between Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield on pay-per-view, with Tyson–Mathis to be aired on Showtime, while Bowe–Holyfield would be broadcast on rival HBO.〔(Tyson PPV vs. Bowe-Holyfield ), Philadelphia Daily News article, 1995-07-26, Retrieved on 2013-05-10〕 However, on September 14, Tyson promoter Don King would stun the boxing world by announcing that the Tyson–Mathis match would instead be broadcast for free on Fox.〔(King Plays the Fox ), Philadelphia Inquirer article, 1995-09-15, Retrieved on 2013-05-10〕 Three weeks before the fight, Tyson suffered a broken thumb, but did not announce it until November 1, three days before the fight. In a press conference at the MGM Grand, Tyson announced the cancellation of the fight because of the injury.〔(Tyson Bout Is Canceled Because of Injury ), N.Y. Times article, 1995-11-01, Retrieved on 2013-05-11〕 Then, on November 22, it was announced that the bout had been moved to Atlantic City with a December 16 date in place and that Showtime would air the fight instead of Fox.〔(Tyson Gets Ready To Rumble ), Philadelphia Inquirer article, 1995-11-22, Retrieved on 2013-05-11〕 Plans were changed after New Jersey gaming authorities ruled against having the fight in Atlantic City because Don King had been under suspension in New Jersey since 1994 because of legal troubles. On November 30, Philadelphia's CoreStates Spectrum was announced to host the fight with Fox regaining the rights to air it.〔(Tyson-Mathis Bout To Be Fought At Spectrum ), Philadelphia Inquirer article, 1995-11-30, Retrieved on 2013-05-11〕
