Who is Oliver McCall?

Oliver "The Atomic Bull" McCall is an American professional Heavyweight boxer best known for winning the WBC heavyweight title in 1994 after scoring an upset knockout victory over Lennox Lewis, in London, England, followed by his infamous in-ring meltdown in the rematch. In a long rollercoaster career that has been blighted by drug addiction and almost constant legal troubles, McCall has served as the chief sparring partner for a peak Mike Tyson, then later came into his own as a professional, defeating Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes, Bruce Seldon, Jesse Ferguson, Francesco Damiani, Oleg Maskaev, Henry Akinwande, Przemyslaw Saleta, Sinan Samil Sam, and Fres Oquendo. By his own admission, McCall has never been knocked down as an amateur, professional, or during sparring.
