As The Wrap reports, Mike Tyson is suing the Boxing Hall of Fame for claiming merchandise with his image and nickname, Iron Mike.
The suit was filed in federal court Tuesday. It reads that the Boxing Hall of Fame in Nevada “has violated Mr. Tyson’s right of publicity and right to use and exploit the Mike Tyson and Iron Mike trademarks by using and exploiting Mr. Tyson’s name, likeness, and marks on apparel and other items it may offer for sale.”
The complaint states that “Mr. Tyson has not authorized this use or exploitation of his name, likeness, or marks.”
The suit seeks unspecified damages.
