Trivia #2 - Think Annie or Mike or Juliet or Brown

It seems like it was just yesterday, but today is the 25th Anniversary of the famous Tyson-Holyfield Ear incident.
Tyson must have been really hungry, because he didn't just take just one bite, he bit both of Holyfield's ears in the third round of their match, today back in 1997. Those ended up being 15 million dollar nibbles, because Tyson had to forfeit his entire 30 million dollar purse over the tasty lobes.
He was trying to make a comeback after domestic violence accusations, rape accusations, and federal imprisonment for 3 years. And while he did make it back TO the big fight, as one announcer later said, "if you saw how that match was going, you know exactly why he bit Holyfield's ears"
Sadly, for all his early greatness, Tyson ultimately faded into bolivian in the boxing world, though he now has a budding movie and airline boxing exhibition career to keep himself busy and his fans happy.
1) Who was the 42-1 underdog who cost Iron Mike his title before he fought his way back up to Holyfield?
or
2) Who was the #1 contender Mike declined to fight when he instead settled for Holyfield?

Two of my personal favorites. "T" would have been acceptable also

Congrats to PAWA for putting the pieces together for Lennox Lewis, who Mike decided he didn't want any part of.
The underdog that took Mike down was Buster Douglas

Good enough for a SECOND WIN on the day. This might be a first since FatherG had a ferocious run of wins about a year ago I think. Excellent!
