Never floored in 93 pro fights, he stood toe to toe against the likes of Muhammed Ali, Floyd Patterson, George Foreman and Joe Frazier. Classic Auctions is proud to present Canadian heavyweight legend George Chuvalo’s fight-worn gloves from his 1966 bout against Willie McCormick. Manufactured by Hutch, the D-12 model gloves exhibit nice wear with each glove featuring particulars that have been applied in white paint, and they state in full “George Chuvalo vs Willie McCormick K.O. 3rd Round Labrador City Dec 16th 1966” and “Trained by Theodore McWhorter managed by Irving Ungerman”. From the collection of Irv Ungerman, we should add that Chuvalo became the first boxer to go the distance with Ali as a pro when they fought earlier that year.
