THE STORY
On November 6, 1993, during the seventh round of the heavyweight title fight between Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a parachutist named James "Fan Man" Miller descended into the ring, causing a 21-minute delay. The fight resumed, and Holyfield won by majority decision, reclaiming the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles. The incident remains one of the most bizarre in boxing history.
