Their characters had just been on a shopping spree, considering the Tyson character was carrying no less than a half dozen bags in his hands.

Rhodes, 31, oozed stoic Mike Tyson confidence decked out in a brown-patterned, double-breasted suit as he was being mobbed by a group of actors playing photographers.

While Harrier, 31, appeared to have Givens' sophisticated elegance down decked out on a green skirt and matching double-breasted jacket and heels.

Since Tyson didn't marry Givens until February 1988, in a whirlwind romance, the boxer had already been enjoying the spoils of his success ahead of this scene.

With his second round TKO win over then champion Trevor Berbick in November 1986, Tyson earned the World Boxing Council (WBC) title at the age of 20 years and 4 months, making him the youngest heavyweight champion in history.   

He added the World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles by defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker in 1987, which both came before his relationship with Givens, who before Tyson had gained stardom of her own in the popular sitcom Head of the Class.
