1995 ring robe was worn by Evander Holyfield for the third and final match in his trilogy against Riddick Bowe on November 4 at Caesar's Palace. Gold satin robe has black trim with Head manufacturer's tag in the collar. The manufacturer's name is prominently featured in the wearer's name, with red block lettering reading "REAL DEAL HEAD HOLYFIELD" and "EVANDER HEAD HOLYFIELD" on the right breast, also in red. Per the enclosed Craig Hamilton LOA, the robe is clean with no holes or tears, and was purchased from the Holyfield Liquidation Auction, with supporting documentation from Julien's Auction. In their 1992 first meeting, Bowe claimed the Heavyweight Title from Holyfield with a 12-round decision, though the Real Deal returned the favor with a hard-fought majority decision just a year later. With no title at stake in what was known as "The Final Chapter," boxing fans clamored for the bout, in which "Big Daddy" Bowe prevailed in an 8th-round TKO. Great piece from an epic heavyweight finale.
