1986-2005 Mike Tyson Photo Shoot Everlast Boxing Signed Gloves Sourced From Ex Tyson Staffer (MEARS LOA & JSA)

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.

Sourced from a former member of Tyson's entourage are these 10 ounce boxing gloves. The gloves show use and were worn by Tyson for a photo shoot for a Showtime production. The inside of the left glove is signed by Tyson and has "Signed By M. Tyson Used Showtime Photo Shoot" in black felt tip. The laces are cut on both gloves. The write glove has "Photo Shoot Only Do Not Train In."
