Mike Tyson vs. Mitch Green, billed as "New York Is Busting Out", was a professional boxing match contested on May 20, 1986. ==Background== Mike Tyson was 19 years old and undefeated when he met former heavyweight contender James "Quick" Tillis in his 20th professional bout. Tyson had won all his 19 previous fights by way of knockout, while Tillis had lost four of his previous five fights and came into the fight as a huge underdog. Tillis, however, put on a good effort and was able to take Tyson the full 10 rounds, the first time in Tyson's professional career,; Tyson won by unanimous decision.〔(Tyson a Victor; Knockout String Ends ), N.Y.

Times article, 1986-05-08, Retrieved on 2013-09-08〕 Despite Green being higher than Tyson in the rankings, there was a huge dispartity in the fighter's purse, Tyson was guaranteed $250,000 while Green was due to make only $30,000. Because of this, Green threatened to pull out of the fight only one day before it was to take place unless his purse was increased. However, after HBO executive Ross Greenberg informed Green that a shot at the WBC heavyweight title was on the line, Green chose to continue on with the fight.〔(Purse of $30,000 Angers Green ), N.Y.
