Greatest upsets in sports history
Rugby World Cup its in full flow and we already have one of the most exciting match between Japan and former world champions South Africa where Japan registered what many describe as one of the greatest rugby upset in recent history. Japan defeated South Africa with a 34-32 scoreline and even their coach Eddie Jones was surprised at the result. We take a look at some of the most memorable upsets sports in general.

James ‘Buster’ Douglas Knockout Mike Tyson (1990)


Mike Tyson was at the peak of his powers having won the heavyweight world title and was widely regarded as the undisputed champion but that all changed with the fight against James Douglas who came into the fight reportedly promising his mother at her “death bed” that he will win the world title. But at 30-1 underdog everyone expected Tyson to win and it was just the case in what round Tyson will knockout Douglas. As it turned out Douglas absolutely schooled Tyson till the round 8 when he was dropped but he got up and finished Mike Tyson off with a four punch combination. Check out the highlight from the fight which would go down as one of the greatest upsets not only in Boxing but in sports.
