Tony Tucker was on top of the world when he won the IBF heavyweight title on May 30 1987. But short is sweet as he became the shortest-reigning world heavyweight champion at just 64 days.
On August 1, 1987, he challenged Mike Tyson for the WBA and WBC heavyweight titles but lost via unanimous decision after 12 rounds of action.
In 1993 he challenged Lennox Lewis for the WBA and WBC heavyweight titles and in 1995 he took on Bruce Sheldon for the vacant WBA heavyweight title, but lost both fights.
