Mike Tyson vs. Mitch Green, billed as New York Is Busting Out, was a professional boxing match contested on May 20, 1986.
[1] Mike Tyson was 19 years old and undefeated when he met former heavyweight contender James "Quick" Tillis in his 20th professional bout.

Plaza Convention Center in Albany, New York, was considered as a possible replacement, however no new site was announced.
Tyson, however, did not walk away unscathed, as his right hand was fractured during the melee, causing his scheduled October fight against Frank Bruno to be pushed back.
