Five sporting fairytales with an unhappy sequel
Premier League champions Leicester's shambolic defence of their title leaves them in real danger of relegation -- they would not be the first to have seen a fairytale sporting success quickly decline into a nightmare. James 'Buster' Douglas tamed the fearsome 'Iron' Mike Tyson in Tokyo in 1990, the 42/1 outsider inflicting his first defeat and becoming undisputed heavyweight world champion. Douglas -- whose preparation had been upset by the loss of his mother -- was unable to summon up that same intensity nearly a year later as his first defence ended in defeat to Evander Holyfield, who knocked him out in the third round.
