Mr. T wore red and black trunks for the fight, featuring a yellow WWF logo. Now, these trunks have gone up for auction in association with Heritage Auctions.

This one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia has already received some huge bids with the current highest bid standing at $4,100. The trunks come with a certificate of authenticity from Heritage Auctions.

A year before his boxing showdown with Piper, Mr. T teamed with Hulk Hogan to defeat Piper and Paul Orndorff at the first WrestleMania in 1985. He returned to the WWF in 1987 when he'd serve as a special enforcer and confront The Honky Tonk Man.

In 2001, Mr. T appeared in the front row of Raw and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. His infamous acceptance speech saw several references to his mother and ran long before being interrupted by Kane.

Mr. T would also dabble in World Championahip Wrestling. After appearing for WCCW in 1989, the actor was in Hulk Hogan's corner for his World Championship match against Ric Flair at Bash at the Beach 1994. At that year's Starrcade, he defeated Kevin Sullivan.
