Yesterday I stumble upon Steve Cofield’s article and I couldn’t stop laughing it brought old memories. It still ranks as one of the oddest nights in sports history. Riddick Bowe was facing Evander Holyfield at the outdoor arena at Caesar’s Palace when ‘Fan Man’ became an indelible part of sports history on Nov. 6, 1993.
In the seventh round, James Miller after hovering above the arena for 25 minutes, made his dive toward the ring. Unfortunately, he landed on the edge of the ring. He tried to hang on with one foot and one hand on that top rope for a few seconds 
until he either fell or was dragged down into the crowd by spectators, his parachute ripping away from the lights above. Fans and the fighters’ security detail swarmed around him immediately and began attacking him. He was knocked unconscious during the attack. One security officer reportedly struck Miller twenty times. He was rushed to a nearby hospital as spectators cut his paraglider into pieces for souvenirs. After his release from the hospital, Miller was taken to the Clark County Detention Center, where he was charged with dangerous flying and released on $200 bail.
The fight was delayed for 30 minutes. That wasn’t strangest part of Miller’s story. He died mysteriously 10 years later. Miller was found after an apparent suicide in a remote area of Alaska.
