Tremendous lot of two, rare and early Iron Mike on-site fight posters dating from the dawn of his professional career. This is the period when Tyson was rapidly climbing his way up the ranks and flattening everyone in his path. He was nineteen, raw, disciplined and his success was due in large part to his A-Team of Cus D'Amato, Kevin Rooney, Jimmy Jacobs, and Bill Cahill. 1) "Tri-City Promotions Presents Professional Boxing 8 Round Main Event. Mike Tyson 9-0 9 KO's vs Sterling Benjamin Trinidad 11-4...Latham Colliseum." 2) "Tri-City Promotions Presents 8 Round Heavyweight Main Event. Mike Tyson 11-0 11 KO's Catskill, N.Y. Conroy Nelson 19-5-1 #2 Ranked Canadian Heavyweight...Latham Colliseum." Each poster measures 22x28", features a singular photo of Tyson, and exhibits some scuffs and surface creases which hardly detract from the display ability.
