Great Mike Tyson Posters: Tony Tubbs in Tokyo

In our Boxing Posters for Sale post we promised a look at some of our favorite Mike Tyson posters on sale at Bob Pace Boxing Memorabilia Store. Here’s number one of our favorite four.

Fight: Mike Tyson (33-0) vs. Tony Tubbs (24-1)
Date: March 21, 1988
Site: Tokyo Dome, Tokyo Japan

This poster is done in a gorgeous art deco style. Iron Mike looks to be literally made of iron, his impenetrable power emphasized by the poster’s metallic tinges and coloration.

Tyson’s glare and confident demeanor are unmistakable. This was the height of his power. He had all three belts and was demolishing everything in his way. He floored Tubbs in the second of this one.

Tyson and Tubbs almost look like futuristic super monsters ready to battle over Tokyo like Godzilla and Megalon. Take special note of the miniature Tokyo Dome in the poster’s bottom center. That’s how big Mike and Tony are.

Poster price: $150
