Fifth in a series
To gain perspective on what it was like to cover the Mike Tyson-James "Buster" Douglas fight, The Japan Times reached out to two veteran newspapermen who pounded out copy at Tokyo Dome for the historic world heavyweight title fight, James Sterngold, working as a correspondent for The New York Times, and Ron Yates of the Chicago Tribune.
Yates worked for 18 years as a foreign correspondent in Asia and Latin America. A four-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, he is professor emeritus and the former dean of the College of Media at the University of Illinois.
