CIRCA 1970S

Classic black velvet robe having white embroidered "Smokin Joe Frazier" on the back. Proper Everlast manufacturer's labeling affixed to the front and small dry clean flag tag inside the collar. The robe shows evident use including perspiration toning to the interior fleece lining. While the particular fight(s) designation is lost to history Joe Frazier remains one of the great boxers in the history of the sport winning 32 of his 37 fights by KO and capturing the World Heavyweight Championship in 1970. His 1971 victory over Muhammad Ali is regarded by many historians as the greatest boxing match in history and became known as the "Fight of the Century". Very fine example of a primary boxing equipment piece relating to an icon of the sport. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX
