Hollywood, FL– [October 2, 2009], Dynasty Athlete Representation, LLC is proud to announce the signing of former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion, James “Buster” Douglas. Dynasty will manage Buster’s post-career marketing, broadcasting and product endorsement activities. He is the agency’s first client from the world of professional boxing.

James Buster DouglasDouglas was responsible for one of the most shocking upsets in sports history when, as a 42-1 underdog, he knocked out undefeated champion Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 in Tokyo, Japan. At the time, Tyson was considered as the best boxer in the world and arguably one of the most feared heavyweight champions in history, due to his utter domination of the division. Buster eventually lost his heavyweight crown to Evander Holyfield several months later and then retired. After being diagnosed with diabetes, he made a late career comeback in 1996 and retired for good in 1999. Buster owns a career record of 38 Wins (25 knockouts), 6 Losses, 1 Draw, and 1 No Contest.

During the height of his career, Buster proudly endorsed a number of products and was the star of his own video game, James ‘Buster’ Douglas Knockout Boxing for the Sega Master and Sega Genesis systems. Most recently, Douglas released a diabetic cook book entitled Buster’s Backyard Bar-B-Q, Knockout Diabetes Diet and has been a guest commentator for several professional boxing bouts.

Dynasty will continue to aide Buster in developing his broadcasting career, as well has handling all product endorsement activities and personal appearance bookings in conjunction with the release of Buster’s autobiography in the near future.
