Interview with Pillow Fighting Championships Promoter, Thomas Elferis

Posted on May 11, 2025 by Heather

Introduction

Thomas C. Elferis has quite a vision for Pillow Fight Championship (PFC). He is a superb promoter, athlete, and father. All of the work that Thomas does would not be possible without the founder of PFC, Steve Williams, a well-known telecommunications pioneer. PFC was established in 2021 and has made its way through seven countries already. This is quite impressive! My perception of Pillow Fight has completely changed after learning exactly what it entails. There might be potential to be a crossover combat sport as well.

Thomas is a man of many talents; he has played ice hockey, trained in boxing, and competed in one-wall handball. He is also actively involved in dog rescue, and is a dedicated parent. Read on to learn more about his latest venture.

Top 10 Biggest Failures in Heavyweight Boxing History

Posted on May 6, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Boxing is one of the most unpredictable sports. While some fighters reach the pinnacle of success, others suffer crushing defeats or fail to live up to their potential. Whether due to lack of discipline, bad career choices, or shocking upsets, these 10 heavyweights experienced some of the greatest failures in boxing history.

1. Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas

Full Name: Michael Gerard Tyson
Born: June 30, 1966 (New York, USA)
Height: 5’10” (178 cm)
Reach: 71” (180 cm)
Stance: Orthodox
Record Before the Fight: 37-0 (33 KOs)
Significant Titles: Undisputed Heavyweight Champion (WBC, WBA, IBF)

Mike Tyson was an unstoppable force in the late 1980s, known for his ferocious knockouts and aggressive style. At just 20 years old, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. By 1990, he was the undisputed heavyweight king, destroying opponents in brutal fashion. He seemed unbeatable—until he met Buster Douglas.

Tyson entered the fight overconfident and out of shape, underestimating his opponent. Douglas, motivated by the recent passing of his mother, fought the perfect fight, using his jab and superior movement to keep Tyson at bay. In the tenth round, Douglas landed a devastating uppercut, followed by a flurry of punches that sent Tyson crashing to the canvas. Unable to beat the count, Tyson suffered his first professional loss, marking one of the biggest upsets in sports history.
