History has been made by Naoya Inoue in his 19th consecutive world titles appearance. He is now boxing‘s first ever 4 belt undisputed bantamweight champion of the world.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to reconnect with my friend and announcing colleague
@brucebuffer
on a flight to Philadelphia. Purely coincidental that we were on the same flight and next to each other!
31 years ago today in Tokyo, Buster Douglas shocked the world with his knockout over Mike Tyson. This was the 1st megaevent that I announced & I have so many vivid memories of that night!
In all my years of announcing 10-counts, I have never heard that level of gasps from the audience like what I heard tonight when I announced the passing of Harold Lederman. So well loved!
35 years ago today I announced my very 1st world title fight. It was Julio Cesar Chavez‘s 1st fight for the world title against Azabache Martinez. Photo shows me holding the robe
@Jcchavez115
wore that night.
From Tokyo, Japan, both fighters make weight for Boxing‘s first ever undisputed Bantamweight championship of the world! Inoue: 117 3/4 lbs. Butler: 118 lbs
Tyson is my Sports Personality Of The Year. Not just for heart, desire, talent & bravery of this fight...but for what he’s done for everyone struggling with their mental health.
He’s shown you CAN battle back from depression, you CAN be suicidal and recover. A true inspiration.
27 years ago today I was privileged to announce, perhaps, the most memorable boxing event of my career. An amazing event with approximately 135,000 in attendance.

vs Haugen. Mexico City. BTW, that’s me down there ringside

Thank you for the many birthday greetings! All were very meaningful to me and I regret that I cannot respond to each of you individually. Thanks and cheers!
I just have to say to everyone who ever backed me: thank you.
Tonight was one the biggest and most important nights of my career. And I don’t get here without you guys always having my back. Time and again. Thank you. Sincerely. And thank you,
@SHOsports

Betcha didn’t know: on 1962 night when young Cassius Clay fought Archie Moore at LA Sports Arena, ring announcer Jimmy Lennon not only handled the intros of the fighters but sang the National Anthem! Take that
