When Street Fighter II was localized in the United States, Capcom was afraid of a lawsuit from Mike Tyson over a character with his likeness as well as a similar sounding name (his Japanese name being 'Mike Bison'). He wears a white and red striped long sleeve hoodie, blue trousers with white star designs, white sneakers and fingerless gloves. His second costume is somewhat similar to his primary outfit but with a United States flag motif. His first alternate costume is business attire similar in design to the one he wore in Street Fighter II V the sleeves are rolled up into cuffs, his boxing gloves are gold and he wears sunglasses. Likely in allusion to Mike Tyson's famous appearance in the Nintendo game Mike Tyson's Punch Out, his black boxing shorts and boxing boots match those of Tyson in his appearance as the final boss of Punch Out's World Circuit. In Street Fighter V, Balrog wears a blue openly hooded robe with yellow outlines and ripped sleeves on the back it has the design of 'Crazy Buffalo' in a black round sign, a large golden crown with clouds and several red stars, the outline on his boxing gloves are black with gold star designs, his boxer shorts are black and he wears matching boxing boots with white outlines. Only when Chun-Li was showing a computer file of Balrog at the start of the movie, he is seen with his boxing gloves.

In Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie he is seen with no boxing gloves and he wears dark green commando pants and boots instead of his boxing trunks and shoes (along with Sagat, after his prologue fight with Ryu). This outfit became his 'Nostalgia' costume in Street Fighter V.

Official artwork at the time also depicted him sans a canine tooth in the upper right side of his mouth. His short hairstyle is similar to Mike Tyson's haircut from the era of Street Fighter II 's release.

He wears blue boxing trunks with white trim and a torn white shirt under a blue tank top, as well as red boxing gloves and boxing shoes.
