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.
Don King ruled boxing with an iron fist through the years. Offered is a yellow spit bucket used for numerous fights during Tyson's career. This is sourced from a former Tyson entourage member and shows wear. King's personal logo "DON" with a crown is built into the sides.
