Offered is a Mike Tyson signature on a full ticket to his March 18, 1991 heavyweight boxing match with Razor Ruddock at the Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada. The former heavyweight champion has signed his name in silver marker across the center of the ticket, which features color head & shoulder photographs of Tyson and Ruddock in the center. After losing the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship to Buster Douglas on February 11, 1990, Mike Tyson embarked on a comeback hopes of regaining his title. After two victories, over Henry Tillman and Alex Stewart, a match between Tyson, who was the number one ranked Heavyweight, and Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, who was ranked number two, was agreed upon. The fight was a hard fought one, with both men hitting each other with power punches throughout the fight. The fight would come to an end with less than a minute remaining in round 7. Tyson was able to hit Ruddock with a six-punch combination. Though Ruddock remained on his feet and was seemingly healthy enough to continue the fight, Steele stepped between the two fighters and stopped the fight, awarding Tyson the victory by technical knockout. The decision enraged Ruddock's corner with Ruddock's brother and manager, Delroy storming the ring to confront Steele. Tyson's trainer Richie Giachetti attempted to restrain Delroy, but a melee ensued that also involved Ruddock's promoter Murad Muhammad. Mirage security had to break up the scuffle and escort Steele to safety. This item has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA (83970769) and the signature is graded Authentic.
