$5,495.00

A pair of black Everlast boxing gloves signed by former Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson at the top of each glove in white using a grease pen. The date “6/3/60” is inscribed at the top of each glove to go along with his signature. The gloves show nice use and were possibly used in a match by Patterson. 
 Patterson, also known as “The Gentleman of Boxing,” fought professionally for 20 years, from 1952 to 1972, and accumulated a record of 55-8-1, including 40 knockouts. Patterson became the youngest Heavyweight champion at the age of 21, earning himself the accolade from November 1956 to June 1959, then regained the position from June 1960 to September 1962 after briefly losing it. Patterson fought Muhammad Ali twice, including in his final fight, losing both times. Before turning pro, Patterson represented the United States in the Middleweight division for the 1952 Olympics and won Gold. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from JSA.
