There are very few images in the history of sports photography that carry the same raw, primal weight as Herb Ritts’ iconic portrait of Mike Tyson. Ritts — whose lens defined the visual language of an entire era, shooting everyone from Madonna to Nelson Mandela — saw something in Tyson that went beyond athletics. Shot in stark black and white, the image strips away everything but the fighter himself: coiled, focused, gloves raised, a shadow stretching behind him like a second presence in the room.
This custom 16Ă—20 mat, finished in a clean black double mat that lets the Ritts image breathe, is a collector display built around one of the most compelling intersections of sports legend and fine art photography you will find in any boxing collection.
