Tommy Hearns Signed Everlast Boxing Glove (Beckett COA)

Everlast boxing glove. Hand-signed in black felt-tip pen by Tommy Hearns.

Nicknamed "The Hitman", Hearns' tall and slender build allowed him to move up over fifty pounds in his career and become the first boxer in history to win world titles in four weight divisions: welterweight, light middleweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight. By later winning a super middleweight title, he also became the first to win world titles in five weight divisions.

Hearns was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine in 1980 and 1984; the latter following his one-punch knockout of Roberto Durán. Hearns was known as a devastating puncher throughout his career, even at cruiserweight, despite having climbed up five weight classes.

The lot / autograph(s) includes an official Beckett Authentication Services serially numbered hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
