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.
Iron Mike pulverized an overwhelmed sparring partner when he wore these black satin trunks in anticipation for a bout. The trunks feature an elasticized band around the waist and American flag on the left bottom. There is an abundance of blood staining on the flag.
