On November 22,1986 Mike Tyson fought Trevor Berbick for the WBC Heavyweight Title at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas.Tyson would KO Berbick in the second round in a completely one sided affair to win his first World Heavyweight Title. Offered here is a very scarce on site poster to this event which has been signed by Mike Tyson, Tyson trainer Kevin Rooney and the noted artist LeRoy Neiman. From the collection of boxing author Peter Heller. This poster is paper. It has been professionally framed. Has beautiful graphic depictions of both fighters done by noted sports artist LeRoy Neiman. Measures 25" x 30." No creases, rips or tears. No soiling. Small stain in lower right corner with slight damage caused by moisture. Excellent example overall. Neiman has signed the poster in vintage ink, "To Peter Heller "Keep Punching" LeRoy Neiman '86." Tyson has signed in ink, "To Peter Love Always Your Friend Mike Tyson 4/18/87." Rooney has signed in ink, "To Peter Best Always Your a Good Guy Kevin Rooney 4/18/87." It is rare to get this poster signed, and tougher still to get it with vintage signatures including Mike Tyson as champion.
