After Douglas lost to Holyfield, he quit boxing for awhile and got super fat. There was a big spread in SI and the guy was like 350#s. He came back years later. But that was well after Tyson was out of prison..
Didn't realize it was 6 years he was out of boxing. Thought it was more like 3 or 4. By the time Douglas returned( 1996) both had essentially been beaten by Holyfield so a rematch then was less appealing.
A nice little money fight nonetheless, but certainly not as appealing as I had tried to make it out in earlier posts.

I had forgot that after the fight, King and Tyson contested the fight. They said that the Douglas count was too long and Douglas should have lost. So Douglas wasn't given the belts right away. Tyson dropped the appeal a few days later. But Douglas never forgave him and didn't want to negotiate with his camp as a result..
