Oscar De La Hoya vs. Darryl Tyson, billed as Prelude to Glory was a professional boxing match contested on February 9, 1996.

Background

Just ahead of his fight with Jesse James Leija at Madison Square Garden in December 1995, reigning WBO lightweight champion Oscar De La Hoya had already announced that the Leija fight would be his final one as a lightweight as he looked ahead to a highly anticipated big money fight against WBC super lightweight champion Julio César Chávez in the summer of 1996. After successfully defending his WBO lightweight title for the final time against Leija, De La Hoya was set to make his super lightweight debut in February 1996 in what was to be a tune up before meeting Chávez. Initial plans called for De La Hoya to face former IBF super lightweight champion Charles Murray, while Chávez would face Darryl Tyson in a 10-round non-title bout in an event billed as Prelude to Glory. However, when the event was announced, it was De La Hoya who would face Tyson while Chávez would instead meet Scott Walker. Both De La Hoya and Chávez had already been guaranteed $9,000,000 each for their proposed June 7th fight, though it was contingent on both men winning their tune-up bouts against Tyson and Walker. Promoter Bob Arum expressed concern that the De La Hoya–Chávez fight could potentially be in jeopardy, stating "If I had my way, Oscar and Julio would not be fighting Friday night. I've seen too many big fights spoiled by these kind of tune up fights."

The Fight

After taking a more tactical approach in the first round, De La Hoya dominated Tyson in the second round. With a minute to go in the round, De La Hoya staggered Tyson with a left hook then backed him into the corner after landing another combination. De La Hoya then landed a right hand to Tyson's kidney which caused Tyson to fall to his knees immediately. Tyson made no attempt to get back as he was counted out, giving De La Hoya the victory by knockout at 2:38 of the round.
