Former Champion Takes Heavyweight Title Fight On 12 Hours Notice The sudden loss of a reigning champion is never easy to witness, especially when it comes at the hands of an opponent who was given mere hours to prepare for the bout.
This past weekend's heavyweight title fight between defending champion Jack "The Ace" Anderson and challenger Mike "The Mauler" Mitchell was one such contest.
Anderson, a four time defending champion with a reputation for dominance in the ring, went down in devastating fashion against Mitchell, who had been granted 12 hours' notice to take on the title.
