On May 20, 1983, Tim Witherspoon would have his first attempt at earning a world title by taking on the recognized top man in the division World Boxing Council champion Larry Holmes at the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. Witherspoon gave Holmes all he could handle, including rocking him badly in the ninth round, before losing a disputed twelve round split decision.
He returned later in the year to outpoint Floyd “Jumbo” Cummings, who had drawn with Joe Frazier in Smokin’ Joe’s last fight, and win the NABF title with a first-round knockout of James “Quick” Tillis.
