When Mike Tyson put his heavyweight title on the line against former champion Larry Holmes, Holmes actually got off to a good start in the fight. Using his defensive skills and potent jab Holmes frustrated the champion for a bit. When Holmes got up on his toes Tyson started to measure him and closed the distance. The end came in the 4th round when Tyson landed big punches and knocked Holmes out. Offered here are the actual fight-worn shoes used by Tyson to close the gap and take out the former champion. These shoes are Tyson's classic black leather with black laces, size 13 1/2. Shoes are marked inside for the Holmes fight. Come with a letter of authenticity and fight video from Tyson's early professional assistant manager Steve Lott.
