Mike Tyson Ricky Powell Photo
Original photo of Mike Tyson wearing a Dapper Dan outfit from 1988 in NYC. 16 x 20 inches. Hand-Signed by the photographer Ricky Powell. His hand here was damaged during a street fight with Mitch Green outside of the Dapper Dan store in Harlem, 1988. Light handling marks.
On August 23, 1988, Green confronted Tyson at Dapper Dan’s in Harlem, claiming that Tyson’s promoter Don King owed him money. The argument then escalated into a physical confrontation during which Tyson landed a straight right hand across Green’s face, completely shutting Green’s left eye and opening a cut across his nose that required five stitches. Tyson, however, did not walk away unscathed, as his right hand was fractured during the melee, causing his scheduled October fight against Frank Bruno to be pushed back. Tyson later recounted the incident in his book and in 2013 on his one-man Broadway show, The Undisputed Truth.
