Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is suing the clothing company SUPREME for allegedly altering a jacket design without his approval, replacing the Israeli flag with the Palestinian flag. The lawsuit stems from a planned collaboration between Tyson, SUPREME, and designer Martin Rose, inspired by an older jacket design that featured the Israeli flag. Tyson reportedly did not consent to the design change, which he views as an "act of politics" that improperly involved him in a political dispute. His representatives stated that the alteration was a "blatant breach of contract" and that Tyson will take necessary steps to protect his reputation and rights. In response to the controversy, SUPREME has canceled the launch of the collaborative jacket. The company had intended to release the redesigned jacket, featuring the Palestinian flag, as part of the collaboration.
