Artist's Photos Draw Mike Tyson to Local Gym

Redwood City artist Steve Hoskins coordinated an event with the Undisputed Boxing Gym owner to bring Mike Tyson to town.

Mike Tyson's reps saw the beautiful lithographs of famous athletes like Kobe Bryant that Steve Hoskins of Redwood City had been creating. They then contacted Hoskins and asked him if he could similarly make some of the legendary boxer.

Hoskins agreed and teamed up with the owner of the famed Undisputed Boxing Gym to bring "Iron" Mike Tyson to sign autographs and meet residents. 

Patch videographer Ken Guanga was on hand to shoot a video of the event. Check it out and let us know what you think of Tyson in the comments below!
