Tatum, a former Olympic Gold medalist, first became World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Watson in the heavily promoted “Bout to Knock the Other Guy Out!” Tatum grew up in Springfield, recalling that that town was a dump. "If you ever see me there again you’ll know I really (bleeped)-up bad." He later served time in prison after pushing his mother down the stairs. Upon his release, he was booked for a match against [[Homer Simpson]], a small-time boxer who had never been knocked out. He was managed during this time by [[Lucius Sweet]], a vicious boxing promoter (and parody of Don King). Tatum’s criminal record has been referred to several times. He also visited the school to make a speech. However, Lisa ended up using him to test her hypothesis that Bullies tend to attack Nerds due to a certain chemical in their sweat, which evidentally proved to be true as Nelson Muntz ended up reacting unwillingly but instinctively going up to Drederick and punching him. He was also friends with Carl Carlson (they met at a party held by Dr. Hibbert), which proved beneficial to have Homer help Marge train in the mixed fighting tournament to end it. His house also has a few exotic animals.
