The gloves were immediately given to the boxing commission and then gifted to promoter Mel Greb after the fight, whose LOA is included with this lot. Red gloves have white lining on thumb and wrist label that reads, ''SAMMY FRAGER / BOXING GLOVES ETC. / MIDWEST GYM / CHICAGO''. Some fading to red coloring of gloves, but in overall near fine condition. From the Sam Simon Estate.
