Three belts on one waist. It is the only Tyson tee in the catalogue showing the full unification.
Undisputed, 1987
Tyson took the WBC title in November 1986 against Trevor Berbick. He added the WBA in March 1987 against James Smith, then the IBF on 1 August 1987 against Tony Tucker.
At twenty-one, he held all three major belts of the era: that is undisputed champion. No heavyweight had managed it since Leon Spinks in 1978.
He kept them until February 1990 and the upset loss to Buster Douglas in Tokyo — one of the biggest turnarounds in the history of sport.
What it looks like on
The artwork is a vector illustration, not a photograph: flat colour, clean outlines, comic-book style.
At the centre, Tyson is drawn from the waist up, three-quarters on, bare chested, fists wrapped in white, with the three belts crossed over his torso: the green WBC, the red and gold WBA, and the grey IBF. Each centrepiece is drawn in detail.
Around the figure: above, the line EVERYONE HAS A PLAN 'TIL THEY GET PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH in small red capitals, then RETRO KINGS in very large white capitals partly hidden behind the silhouette. Bottom right, KNOCKOUT KING over two lines in italic, red outlined in white. Two red stars close the composition on the right.
It is the most colourful tee in the Tyson family.
Premium cotton, crew neck, short sleeves, straight cut. Plain back.
