Mike Tyson's former opponent sparked a riot after repeatedly punching opponent in the groin
Mayhem ensued. Angry fans rioted and Bowe’s team attacked Golota, leaving the 74-year-old Duva flat on his back and Golota sporting a cut after he was struck on the head by a walkie-talkie.
It left Golota with a 28-2 record but, having never been stopped or outpointed, he was widely viewed as the division’s new danger man. That reputation was blown apart in Golota’s next fight: his first heavyweight title challenge against Lennox Lewis. The first round ended in explosive style with a marauding Tyson felling Golota with a compact right hand. Golota got up, however, and while Tyson was largely on top in round two, the Pole fired back with several shots of his own.
But Golota was insistent and when the crowd got wind of his surrender, he was pelted with drink cups – some containing soda, some containing a more stale-smelling liquid – as he ran back to the dressing room before another riot could break out.
