Brit Forum: What boxing memorabilia do you have/collect?

Jo Sports was the one I was thinking about :good

 

:goodI see Collins-Resto on there as well. Give me that poster!!!

 

JD great collection

i have 100 year old boxing gloves my Grandad gave me

Lee McAllister signed picture

 

I have a signed gloves by Clinton Woods and Jamie Moore. These were both signed 'To Dan' after they both came to boxing shows in the Army to hand out prizes so they're not worth much with my name on. Have a signed Mayweather photo from when he came to Manchester for the Hatton fight. Have a couple od Ring Magazines from 60's in pristine condition. Prob worth **** all but I like them as one's a Sugar Ray one and the other a Clay one. Not much but they're mine Still want more stuff though so hopefully when this question is raised in a year or 2 i'll have more

 

i got a signed pic of joe frazier putting ali down in their first fight and the infamous picture of ali standing over a prone liston.conflict of interest but two nice pics

 

there are a couple events a year called collectmania they are for people who people who collect autographs quiet often they have boxers signing there they normally charge a tenner a signature and will sign anything you want these shows are free entry the last one had johnny nelson and paul silky jones ive seen the likes of bruno, benn etc atttend these shows in the past and you can normally have a chat with them.
just a tip for anyone who might be looking to expand there collection, i dont have a collection anymore as my missus ebayed it towards the wedding fund if anyone wants something signed from the dagenham fighters then drop me a line im sure can sort something out

I've been collecting old fights as far back as the early 1900's and Boxing news magazines for the last few years aswell. I havn't brought many of them in the last few weeks though, can anyone tell me if this weeks edition is worth a good read? Don't know if I should get it or not this week either.

 

They are absolutely fantastic. Jack i am in complete awe of your collection, any chance of you putting up a few more .. Were and when did you buy the Tunney and Dempsey ticket ?? Sensational memorabilia !!

 

The best thing I have is a signed Sugar Ray Leonard glove that my missus bought me one month ago for my birthday.

 

There is a Dempsey vs Gibbons ticket on ebay right now for a buy it now price of £175.

 

i dont have alot of memrobilia but i have alot of fight films i would say about near 2000

 

that some collection :happy

 

thanks, its alright got mostly older fights dont have alot of current fighters, really into Duran at the moment and looking to get some of the lighter weights.

 

Great info Kos, thanks i'll check it out ..... Everything surrounding that iconic Dempsey v Tunney fight is very special though. But other Dempsey memorabilia has its value ..

There are certain fights that trigger an historic significance more than others, like,

Dempsey v Willard
Dempsey v Tunney
Dempsey v Tunney 2
Louis v Braddock
Louis v Schmelling 2

These fights are 'The' fights that collectors are always searching for ..
