2 days before his match with the undefeated back then Mike
Tyson, Buster Douglas’s mother died. Douglas was preparing
for one of the most difficult challenges that he had until
that time of his life and another calamity hit his life. It is
obvious that it was a very hard period for him, yet he managed
to beat the ‘undisputed’ heavyweight champion of that time
Mike Tyson via knockout,
because he had a reason. Reason is only one pillar of motivation. The other two are
autonomy and mastery.
