Mike Tyson vs. Donovan Ruddock, billed as "The Fight of the Year", was a professional boxing match contested on March 18, 1991. ==Background== After losing the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship to James "Buster" Douglas on February 11, 1990, Mike Tyson embarked on a comeback hopes of regaining his title. First, he knocked out 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist and former amateur opponent, Henry Tillman in the first round. Then, he met up-and-coming prospect Alex Stewart, whose 26 victories had all come by way of knockout. Despite Stewart's impressive resume, Tyson picked up another easy victory by way of 1st round technical knockout, knocking down Stewart three times in only 147 seconds. After those two victories, a match between Tyson, who was the number one ranked Heavyweight, and Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, who was ranked number two, was agreed upon. The two men originally were set to face each other on November 18, 1989 in Edmonton with Tyson's Undisputed Championship on the line. However, the fight was postponed and ultimately cancelled because Tyson was suffering from costochondritis〔(Tyson-Ruddock Fight Postponed Until Next Year ), L.A. Times article, 1989-10-26, Retrieved on 2013-05-07.〕 On December 9, 1990, the day after Tyson defeated Stewart, Tyson promoter Don King announced Ruddock would indeed be Tyson's next opponent while also announcing that Tyson and Showtime had agreed to a blockbuster long term pay-per-view deal that would pay Tyson $120 million.〔(Tyson Will Fight Ruddock Next, Former heavyweight champion also will sign $120-million deal with Showtime ), L.A.
