Parachutist Disrupts Heavyweight Title Fight
1990sParachutist Disrupts Heavyweight Title Fight
I thought I'd seen every weird occurrence at a sports event until I saw this. During a 1993 bout between Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe for the world havyweight title at an outdoor venue in Las Vegas, a parachutist attempted to descend into the ring in the seventh round. His chute snagged and he became entangled in the ropes. Reports say Bowe's entourage gave the intruder a pretty good pummeling before security staff intervened.

Yes indeed, Freckles. Nothing says love quite like a lunatic dropping into a boxing ring.

The parachutist, James Miller, committed suicide in Alaska in 2002. Miller's death was not widely known until ESPN went looking for him in 2003 to mark the tenth anniversary of this crazy stunt.

This was not his only stunt along these lines. He also interrupted an NFL game in Oakland and a soccer game in England. He succeeded in getting himself banned from the UK for life as a potential 'terrorist' after he landed on top of Buckingham Palace.
