British Boxing Legend Sir Henry Cooper Signed Red Lonsdale Boxing Glove + Cert

Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG (3 May 1934 – 1 May 2011) was a British heavyweight boxer. He was undefeated in British and Commonwealth heavyweight championship contests for twelve years and held the European heavyweight title for three years. In a 1963 fight against a young Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali), he knocked Clay down in Round 4, before the fight was stopped in Round 5 because of a cut to Cooper's eye.

In 1966 he fought Ali for a second time. Ali was then world heavyweight champion. However, Cooper got TKO'd again. Cooper was twice voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year and, after retiring in 1971 following a controversial loss to Joe Bugner, remained a popular public figure. He is the only British boxer to have been awarded a knighthood.

This red Lonsdale boxing glove has been signed by the legendary British boxer, Sir Henry Cooper. As a true icon in the world of boxing, Sir Henry's signature adds value and authenticity to this collector's item. Includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
