Old Newspaper: Mike Tyson Makes His Debut...

I have the original program of Tysons debut up in Albany. I forget who else was fighting on the card besides Rooney. Its a paper two page folder program.
Maybe Ill dig it out and post some pictures.

LOL! How about this one? The japanese newspaper the day after Tyson got KO'd in Tokyo.

 

nice

 

Or how about these? After Holy whipped Tyson these bottles were only distributed in Atlanta. HAHA Dont get me started

 

Great stuff lefthook!

 

And the last Tyson related item of the day. Tyson Berbick ringside seat ticket stub.

 

This is a fantastic website for newspaper articles on Tyson as his career progressed. It's fascinating to see how the press wrote about him "in the moment":

I find the article written in '91 about the Ruddock fight especially interesting. It goes into length about how Tyson's skills had eroded, and how it was noticeable in the '89 Bruno fight. Proof that it was obvious and written about even back then in the heat of Tyson hysteria. But if you bring it up in an argument here, you are labeled a "revisionist historian". The article proves otherwise.

 

Brilliant find, can't wait to read those articles.

Great memorabilia lefthook, that Holy-Coke is awesome.
