Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is suing the clothing company SUPREME for allegedly altering a jacket design without his permission, replacing the Israeli flag with a Palestinian flag in what he claims was an unauthorized political act. The collaboration, initially intended to honor Tyson's career and inspired by an old jacket that featured the Israeli flag, was redesigned by SUPREME and designer Martin Rose. Tyson's representatives stated that the company involved him in a political dispute against his will, calling the change a blatant breach of contract. They asserted that Tyson will take necessary steps to protect his reputation and rights. SUPREME has since canceled the launch of the collaboration, and the jacket will not be released for sale. The incident highlights ongoing attempts by companies and organizations globally to engage in political statements, which Tyson appears to be resisting.
