These three lightweight charms represent three old-time boxing giants, with their names prominently displayed on the front/center of each finely detailed glove. The silver-colored charm belongs to Jess Willard, aka "The Pattawotomie Giant," who was Heavyweight Champion of the World from 1915-1919. The two bronze-colored charms are dedicated to John Sullivan, widely recognized as boxing's first modern Heavyweight Champ (1888), and Bob Fitzsimmons, a late19th century British native who made history by being boxing's first three-division world champion ever. The charms are three unique pieces of boxing's early history.
