4-time Light-Middleweight World Champion "Terrible" Terry Norris fought and trained during the 1980's and 1990's wearing flashy custom-designed boxing shoes. Here is a pair of his red Mizuno "Terrible" Terry signature model shoes that cover the ankle and even a large part of the shin. According to Norris they were worn in the 1990's during the latter part of his career in several training sessions and a few official bouts as well. Norris has autographed each shoe on the ankle in perfect 10/10 black marker with the inscriptions "WBC" and "IBF". The shiny red canvas and red leather material is emblazoned with the white Mizuno logo on each side with red laces and the 'M' Mizuno patch stitched in the tongue. Terry loves fight shoes with tassels (or fringe style) and the left shoe has all five white tassels still intact. Only two are present on the right. There is no size tag on the inside but they appear to be in the 9-10 range. They show good use and come essentially as-issued.

Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.

Includes a Letter of Authenticity from "Terrible" Terry Norris.

Terrible Terry Norris certainly lived up to his nickname as a boxer but outside the ring is another story. A few years ago he and his wife Tanya started the Final Fight Foundation whose mission is to serve as a catalyst for the under-served athletes in health and retirement assistance during and after their careers. Norris now suffers from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Parkinsonism and Dementia brought on by years in the ring. A portion of the proceeds from his collection will go towards his foundation.
