The most terrifying Heavyweight in the history of professional boxing became the youngest Champion of the World on this date, viciously dispatching the man who had sent Muhammad Ali into retirement with a customarily brutal second round knock out. Presented is an exceedingly rare unused ticket to that historic bout, apparently a gift to a Vegas high roller as the word "Comp" is stamped on reverse. Minimal edge and corner wear represent the entirety of necessary condition caveats, the important ticket essentially unchanged since the height of the Tyson phenomenon. And let's face it--the Heavyweight division has never been the same since Iron Mike exited the stage. A rarity simply as a ticket by itself, this ticket steps it up a notch by including a bold blue ballpoint pen autograph from Tyson on the front, with Tyson adding "2nd Round TKO" which was the method by which he defeated Berbick. Impressive! Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
