Drederick fighting
Tatum, a former Olympic Gold medalist, first became World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Watson in the heavily promoted “Bout to Knock the Other Guy Out!” Tatum grew up in Springfield, recalling that that town was a dump. If you ever see me there again you’ll know I really (bleeped)-up bad. He later served time in prison after pushing his mother down the stairs. Upon his release, he was booked for a match against Homer Simpson, a small-time boxer who had never been knocked out. He was managed during this time by Lucius Sweet, a vicious boxing promoter (and parody of Don King). Tatum’s criminal record has been referred to several times.
