Details from Wikipedia:
In November 1993, promoter Don King announced the first boxing card for the soon-to-be-opened MGM Grand Las Vegas. Billed as the "Super Grand Slam of Boxing", the main event was announced to feature Julio César Chávez making the 14th defense of his WBC super lightweight title against Frankie Randall. Also featured on the card was Félix Trinidad vs. Héctor Camacho for Trinidad's IBF welterweight title, Simon Brown vs. Troy Waters for Brown's WBC Super Welterweight title, and Thomas Hearns taking on Dan Ward for the vacant NABF cruiserweight title. Originally, the card was to also feature a rematch between Azumah Nelson and Jesse James Leija for Nelson's WBC super featherweight title, but this was postponed until May and would take place on King's "Revenge: The Rematches" card.[2]
Chávez, whose last major fight had been a controversial draw four months prior against Pernell Whitaker, paid little attention to Randall, a little-known 32-year old journeyman fighter, who entered the fight as an overwhelming 16–1 underdog. Chávez instead focused much of his time during the pre-fight buildup discussing both the draw with Whitaker and a possible rematch with him that ultimately never came to be. Though given little chance of beating Chávez, who was undefeated in 90 professional fights, Randall remained confident he could earn the victory and used Chávez's perceived lacklustre performance against Whitaker as motivation stating "The Whitaker fight showed that movement is most effective against Chavez, and I’m going to use it to my advantage. Everybody says, ‘You’re past your prime.’ I'm at my prime. I'm strong, can do everything a young man can do. I still bang with the best."[3]
