Mike Tyson wax figure

137. Mike Tyson. "Iron Mike" Tyson, the first heavyweight to own all three major belts, WBA, WBC, and IBF at the same time, is featured wearing crimson boxing trunks, wrapped hands, and a towel. The wax head was sculpted by Hollywood Wax Museum curator Ken Horn in the mid 1980s and portrait painted in oil. Following the infamous 1997 heavyweight title rematch when Tyson was disqualified for biting off part of Evander Holyfield's ear, the figure was moved to the Horror Chamber and displayed with half of an ear on a plate. Later that year, Tyson came into the Wax Museum 5 times within 3 days just to stare at the figure. Measures approximately 5 ft. 8 in. tall. $2,000 - $3,000
