In the final clip, Buster Douglas stated he was no longer interested in the day to day grind of boxing, which resulted in his retirement in 1999. When asked if the grueling lifestyle of a boxer was worth it, Douglas responded, “Most definitely.” Even though he was depicted in HBO’s 1995 biopic on Mike Tyson, Buster Douglas said he’s never seen the film and added that he wasn’t in a good place during the year it premiered. The former heavyweight champion spoke on training young kids in Ohio and witnessing more women getting involved with boxing.
Buster Douglas also commented on the UFC and Floyd Mayweather’s highly profitable fight against Conor McGregor before listing his top five boxers of all time. He listed Jack Johnson as his favorite and named Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather and Sugar Ray Robinson as his remaining four. In addition, he called the older generation of fighters “iron-men” for only taking a few weeks off in between fights. Douglas also commented on the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.
