Boxing Monthly Magazine September 1998 Mike Tyson De La Hoya Lennox Lewis SKU 1508

Original Boxing Monthly Magazine, dated September 1998, Volume 10 Issue No. 5.

This issue has a striking Mike Tyson cover with the large headline “I Spy More Trouble Ahead” and the subheading “Tyson – Just As Mean As He’s Ever Been?”. It is a strong period boxing collectible covering several major names and bouts from the late 1990s.

The cover also promotes previews of Evander Holyfield vs Vaughn Bean, Lennox Lewis vs Zeljko Mavrovic, and Oscar De La Hoya vs Julio Cesar Chavez II, making it particularly appealing to collectors interested in heavyweight and championship boxing from this era.
