On January 22, 1988 at the Convention Center in Atlantic City, Mike Tyson defended his World Heavyweight Title against former champion Larry Holmes. Offered here is the fight worn robe used by Larry Holmes for this fight. The robe is white satin with red trim and sports the Everlast label on the front. Under that label, Larry Holmes has signed the robe in black marker. On the reverse in red lettering are the words "Larry Holmes This Is It Champion." Our research shows that Holmes actually wore this robe initially when he was champion in defense of his title against David Bey on March 15, 1985. The decorative trim in red was added to the robe for the Tyson fight. Some of that trim is missing. Heavy stains from use. LOA from Larry Holmes. Additional LOA from Craig Hamilton of JO Sports, Inc.
