My girlfriend is working on a novel that takes place between 1898 and 1906 and one of the main characters is a boxer. I’ve been trying to help her with some of the boxing stuff from that time period but one thing I wasn’t sure about is the use of hand wraps. She mentions the boxer wrapping his hands with gauze before a fight in 1901. Does anyone know if this is accurate in terms of gauze hand wraps being used in that time period? Thanks!
Sorry maybe this should have gone in the Classic Boxing forum...not sure if there is a way for me to move it.
