Signed Boxing Memorabilia-What Do You Have?

Signed? I have two signed gloves by Sugar Ray Leonard. One with a personal inscription. He was the guest speaker at a sales meeting when I worked for Pepsi. I was in the communication department and I spent a long time with him talking and hanging out while he was signing gloves. So he signed a couple for me. One signature you can't even read. He was signing so many gloves they just looked like scribbles. The one with the inscription is much clearer.

 

If you're a signature collector, and you can write a little bit, try to get a press pass to a major fight card through one of the many boxing websites around. If you have a press pass, you can bring a laptop in a bag with you into the arena and include some things you want signed. You can also go backstage. Many fighters not on the card are at ringside and mulling about back where the press conferences are held.

You could probably get some signatures and take photos of them signing whatever they are signing. That helps to authenticate it. It's also nicer to meet them, as opposed to just sending away for signatures.

Just a suggestion.

I agree, he signs a barely legible SRL.

Personal message from Fury, on a glove, for my 40th

 

I have gloves signed by Ali, Tyson, Buster Douglas, Hagler, Julian Jackson, McCallum, Toney, and my boy Smokin' Bert Cooper. A friend also gave me a bunch of memorabilia for Jerry Quarry and Frazier.

 

I have IBF & WBA world championship belts signed in gold ink by Iron Mike. Got them signed on his one & only trip to Australia in 2012.

Unfortunately I'm no pro when it comes to getting memorabilia pieces signed & the signature on the WBA belt got smudged slightly when I put the belt back in a bag too quickly after he signed it. Made sure I waited for the ink to dry on the IBF belt before I put that one away!

 

I've got a serviette Danny Santiago signed. Be worth $1000's in the States.
