    Mike has been in touch with my co-promoter to source a photo, taken of him walking to the ring with Cus D'Amato prior to his professional debut against Hector Mercedes.

    If anyone can source the photo or find a link, Mike would be very grateful.

    We will also send you a signed Mike Tyson glove. :good

    My guess is you'll get much more respect from people on here LC in relation to this. People may not find the photo, but you wont get absolute idiots like you've found on other forums.

    Cheers Paddy - that guy in Classic is a ****ing idiot, and I did make the mistake of emailing the link to Mike's assistant Darryl. I'm hoping someone edits it out.

    Bad Dog, do you mean the photo is available on ebay?

    It doesn't matter if it's original or not. He was given a copy by a fan (he'd never owned one before), loved it, but lost it when packing up at the hotel.

    Have you got a link?

    Mate I would love to get that glove to add to my collection, but I'll be honest I cant recall ever seeing that shot before and I've checked all the obscuro memorabilia sites I use and they dont have it either

    Cant check Ebay at work though, might be on there

    Thanks for looking guys!

    The Mike Tyson photo is from a book called "Knockout: The Art of Boxing" by a New York based sports photographer called Ken Regan.

    I have contacted Ken to get a copy and his details are:

    Ken Regan
    Camera 5
    6 West 20th Street
    8th Floor
    New York
    NY 10011

    Have you got it mate?

    Can you confirm that the pic is taken from the back? All I have is a description from Mike.
