Buster Douglas is helping Kentucky prepare for No. 1 Georgia

Tomorrow, Kentucky hosts No. 1 Georgia at Kroger Field. The game doesn’t hold quite the same luster as it did a few months ago, but the opportunity to shock the world remains. Today, the staff brought in a very special guest to prepare the Cats for battle: Buster Douglas. In 1990, Douglas knocked off Mike Tyson to win the world heavyweight title in what is considered the biggest upset in boxing history.

Coming into the match, Tyson was the undefeated, undisputed heavyweight champion, holding the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles. Douglas was a 42-1 underdog.
