This is the original, first boxing license issued to "Iron" Mike Tyson for use in the State of Nevada. The license was issued on 9/6/86 and has an original, vintage picture of Tyson inside, 14 pages in nice condition. The license lists his fight with Ratliff, but more importantly it includes his fist heavyweight championship challenge with then-champion Trevor Berbick. Tyson destroyed Berbick to win his first title. Not signed by Tyson. Exceptionally rare offering. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Tyson's early assistant manager Steve Lott.
