December 11th, 2013 Holiday Catalog Auction (#40)

Lot #345:

3/16/2002 Francois Botha Fight-Worn Gloves and Hand Wraps vs. Wladimir Klitschko (4)

These four (4) items were used by Francois Botha during his fight with Wladimir Klitschko on 3/16/2002. We were told by our consignor that they were sourced directly from his manager, Sterling McPherson. Two (2) 10 oz., “PAFFEN SPORT” manufactured black leather gloves with red trim. Lacing is missing on both gloves. Each glove inscribed “JPD 3/16/02” in blue pen. These were presented to us as fight-worn and in our opinion show great use.
