An autographed menu from a dinner attended by Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, and Walter Payton is set to be auctioned off.

The sports legends dined together at Lino's Ristorante in Chicago in 1988 along with boxing promoter Don King and former Bears defensive end Richard Dent to celebrate Dent's 28th birthday, according to TMZ Sports.

Tyson's former trainer, Rory Holloway, wrote about the night in his memoir "Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Team Tyson," claiming that Tyson confronted Jordan about an alleged fling the Bulls great had with his then-wife, Robin Givens.

"Like any guy, Mike has an ego; he used to hear these little rumors," Holloway said of Tyson in a 2015 interview with Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune. "The jealous side came out of him, exacerbated by the drinking ... Here's Mike, who's not a drinker, drinking Long Island iced teas. It's almost like a little kid getting drunk for the first time.

"I see Mike tense up. Tyson's reputation at the time is the baddest man on the planet. He starts, 'I know you (had sex with) her.' (Jordan) was waiting for Mike to either laugh or say something. Michael Jordan don't seem like he knew how to take it but he knows, 'I don't want this guy to swing across the table.'"

Holloway's version of events has been disputed by others, including Dent.

Bidding on the dinner menu opens Oct. 20 through Hindman Auctions.
