Elegant and stylish, made of beautiful patinated leather and available in several colors, this pair of vintage style boxing gloves, signed by John Woodbridge and Sons Makers, made in an old-fashioned workshop, gives an authentic look to a display case or sports hall. The boxing gloves are designed to protect the fighter who takes the blows, but especially the hands of the wearer. They date back to ancient times, when they were used by boxers in the form of leather bands around their fists. Roman soldiers, who also used boxing to fight, as depicted in paintings, bronzes and mosaics of the time, used leather gloves filled with twisted wires. Later in England in the 18th century, the English boxing champion Jack "The Father of Boxing" Broughton, who laid the foundation for the rules of boxing, is said to have invented the modern boxing gloves that became mandatory in competitions. In 1866, the gloves of both boxers had to be of equal weight, with the lightest gloves having the most impact and being the most suitable for knockout.
