Boxing can only wish it could go back to the days when Mike Tyson dominated sports headlines. While some of the news was negative, Tyson had boxing atop the sporting landscape in the 1980s and '90s as he was a must-see pay-per-view each time he laced up the gloves. Currently, the sport is in a state of purgatory as crooked judges, a dearth of heavyweight talent and squabbling over a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight are the only things bringing notoriety these days. Originating from a former Tyson entourage member is this piece of boxing history.
To get ready for his big matches Tyson wore this heavy-duty leather protective cup. The protective instrument features a cup with leather surrounding the entire offering. Straps are instituted into the contraption as well. Worth special mention is the Everlast "Made Expressly For Mike Tyson World's Heavyweight Champion" white-and-black tag on front. Consigned by MEARS Staff.
The protective device shows use put still has some life left in it. Comes with LOA from EX Tyson camp member.
