Mike Tyson had a wonderful career as an amateur fighter. He hoped it would culminate with a victory at the 1984 Olympics but he was devastated by rival Henry Tillman's force. Offered here is Mike Tyson's athletic gym bag which he used during the 1984 Olympic Trials. This well worn bag made by TUF-WEAR has both Tyson's name and Olympic Boxing Team displayed. In a portend of things to come there is a note inside the bag, "Hi Mike, I'm Brenda, I work at the Hilton and I am a fan of yours, Please write back." LOA from photographer Tom Casino who was given this bag by Tyson and from Craig Hamilton of JO Sports, Inc.
