*'''Promoter:''' [[Tiffany Promotions]]

== Notes ==
*Mike Tyson 5-0 (5 KOs) vs. Larry Sims 3-16-3 (2 KOs)
*It was the tenth known knockout loss of Sims' professional career.
*No known footage of the fight exists as it has been said that the film crew who was scheduled to cover the fight failed to show in time. By the time they arrived the fight was over.
*Another theory is that Tyson's team destroyed the footage because he had a poor performance and when they were sending Tyson's fights around to boxing journalists, they didn't want anyone seeing the fight.
*The bout as described by William F. McNeil in "The Rise of Mike Tyson, Heavyweight": "Sims, a 30-year-old club fighter with a 10-10 record, approached Tyson very cautiously and stayed out of harm's way for the first two rounds. At the beginning of round three, Mike trapped his man in the corner and delivered a series of crushing body shots. As soon as Sims dropped his hands to protect his ribs, Tyson caught him with a clean right hook and put him in Never-Never-Land for a full ten minutes."

*[[Anthony Joshua]] was originally scheduled to box the [[IBF]] mandatory challenger [[Kubrat Pulev]]. But Pulev was forced to pull out of the fight due to a shoulder injury, therefore [[Carlos Takam]] stepped in on October 16th as a late replacement.
*Joshua has surpassed Mike Tyson's record of 19 consecutive knockouts.
*Takam (35-4-1) was fighting at 12 days' notice as an injury replacement.
*Unbeaten champion Joshua opened up a nasty cut above 36-year Takam's right eye in the fourth round and knocked down the durable France-based Cameroonian late in round.
*It was far from a straight-forward night for Joshua in the Principality Stadium as the 28-year-old appeared to suffer a broken nose in the second round after an accidental clash of heads.
*Takam caught Joshua with some shots but they didn't have enough power to hurt the champion.

==Comments==
*"I was trying to break him down round by round." - Anthony Joshua
*"Unfortunately, the ref stopped it. I think people want to see Takam unconscious on the floor." - Anthony Joshua
*"That was where I was trying to get to. I don't have control over the ref's decision." - Anthony Joshua

<fight>25694</fight>

This Showtime-televised preliminary to David Tua-Robert Daniels was a wild, foul-filled one round of action. Dixon charged recklessly at Whitaker at the opening bell, and landed a very low left hook at the one minute mark, prompting a warning from Richard Steele. Whitaker immediately followed with a borderline right hand on the belt line, causing Dixon to drop to a knee, which Steele ruled a clean knockdown. At almost two minutes in, Whitaker landed a low blow. Dixon's retaliation earned him a second warning from Steele, who cautioned Dixon that one more foul would result in disqualification. When the action resumed, Whitaker dropped Dixon with another borderline punch, which Steele ruled to be neither a knockdown nor a low blow. A clash of heads also opened a cut above Whitaker's left eye. At 2:30, a wild-swinging Dixon fell to the canvas, which Steele ruled to be the second knockdown of the round. The final low blow from Dixon landed with 10 seconds remaining in the round, at which point Steele waved off the contest.
