“James what kind of headgear is Tyson wearing. I'd prefer to train with that rather than the style I'm used to.’

-Oliver

This is “old school” boxing headgear and should be available in catalogues under that name. old photos of Dempsey and Louis sparring with this on mark it as a 1920-30s design that grew out of wrestling head gear and is primarily concerned with keeping ears from turning into nasty bags of dried blood and also of protecting against concussions caused by poor peripheral vision, this is the kind of head gear you want if you wish to practice rolling with punches and countering. It does not protect the nose at all and does little for eye cuts and for that reason has been superseded by more forensically protective but visually retarding head pieces.
