Mike Tyson vs. Henry Tillman, billed as "The Road Back", was a professional boxing match contested on June 16, 1990. ==Background== In his previous fight, Mike Tyson had lost his Undisputed Heavyweight title after being knocked out in the tenth round by 42–1 underdog James "Buster" Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in sports history. After a failed protest, Tyson's promoter Don King attempted to quickly gain a rematch with Douglas, but Douglas turned down King's offer and instead chose to face the number one contender Evander Holyfield.〔(Douglas Shuns Tyson For Holyfield ), N.Y. Times article, 1990-02-19, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 Left with little choice, Tyson was forced down the comeback trail. Former welterweight and middleweight champion Thomas Hearns〔(Hearns vs. Tyson? ), N.Y. Times article, 1990-02-22, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 and former heavyweight contender Renaldo Snipes〔(Tyson Fight in Doubt ), N.Y. Times article, 1990-04-24, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 emerged as possible opponents for Tyson, but it was announced on May 1 that Tyson would face 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist Henry Tillman, who had twice defeated Tyson as an amateur, effectively costing Tyson a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.〔(Foreman and Tyson Book a Doubleheader ), N.Y. Times article, 1990-05-01, Retrieved on 2013-08-10〕 In spite of his successful amateur career, Tillman's professional career was unimpressive, facing mostly unknowns and losing his only high-profile fight to Evander Holyfield by way of knockout. Tillman entered the fight as a 25–1 underdog and was given virtually no chance of defeating Tyson. The Tyson–Tillman fight was the second fight of a doubleheader event that also featured George Foreman taking on Adilson Rodrigues.
